After several years of writing newspaper columns, comments from readers caused me to realize that a published book of these columns might be welcomed by readers who wanted to read them again or give them as gifts. My first two collections, J'Ever Notice? and 'Zat Right? were well received. It is my wish that these stories will bring my readers the same nostalgic entertainment and humor, both of which are wonderfully healing. Let me tell you more country stories about old tractors and cars, farming, kids, storms, time, early radio programs, some old scary stories, teachers, cotton gins, old diaries, how things were one hundred years ago, hard doings, dry times, going from boom to bust, horses, dogs, trail drives, and wash pots, as well as some others about reunions, cemetery workings, going to church in the country, families and kinfolks

This series of short stories and anecdotes entitled "There Was No Linkin' To What I Was Thinkin'," has been a wonderful and exciting trip for me. The stories in this book deal with a variety of subjects. Some are factual, true stories, while others are written with tongue placed firmly in cheek. I have called upon my life experiences for much of the material in my short stories. Many tales are drawn from my experiences as a young boy roaming the hills of northeast Arkansas, while others are from my having been a gospel preacher's son and the experiences related to that phase of my life. Many of the stories will make you laugh while others might bring a trear to your eye. However you react to the collection of stories, it has been an exciting trip with many great and wonderful times with family and friends.
