NOW AVAILABLE! At the Drive-In: Small Town Tales


After several weeks of last minute editing and Formatting Hell, my book is finally complete! I don’t know how they do it, but the brains behind Microsoft Word have somehow managed to hide all kinds of demonic spaces and evil margin ghosts that appear in my writing the closer I get to finishing my manuscript. Fortunately, there is plenty of help available online, because an instructional manual that covers all the issues I have encountered might not fit through my door. Or maybe I’m just too dumb to format a simple document.

Anyway, I have successfully checked every last comma and exorcised all the format ghosts and demons and bravely clicked the Publish button once again. Now if only someone will read the thing!

Ebook available at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JDDVKNV for $3.99
Paperback at https://www.amazon.com/dp/1718119496 for $11.99

Here’s the final book description:

Have you ever lived in a small town? Worked at a small school or church? Maybe a drive-in?

Life moves at a slow pace in the small Texas town of Eastlake, as portrayed in this collection of short stories spanning six decades. For most folks, the school calendar drives the social calendar and on Friday nights, everyone turns out to support their hometown Eagles, but from 1957 to the present, Sully’s Drive-In has always been the town’s true center.

Cole Bradford comes to Eastlake as a young, single coach and returns later as the embattled principal of the intermediate school. Ron Copeland is the veteran administrator who has spent more than half his life as the principal of Eastlake High School until he encounters a new superintendent with whom he immediately finds conflict. Evan Peters is the football coach and later Athletic Director with character issues aplenty. Cora, his wife, has her own set of problems and nowhere to turn for help. Christopher Manning is the pastor at the First Baptist Church, although we first meet him in the role of youth minister. Amy Davis, Brent Griffen, Ty Mills, and the Holder family also live and work in the community.

Come to Eastlake and spend some time enjoying the quiet life and getting to know the locals.

The book contains fifteen stories with several characters appearing in multiple tales:
·         In the Beginning
·         Friday Night Lights
·         The Boy Who Cussed
·         The Fight
·         Missing
·         Church
·         Black Romeo
·         Renovations
·         Boy Meets Girl

Hopefully, readers will enjoy these tales and find a few characters they like. I’ve already written several stories for the sequel. As always, follow the blog, leave comments, and come back next week for more!
