My Review
Reading these short tales was like hanging out with friends. I live in a small Single Tax Colony on the Gulf Coast and I swear I recognized some of these characters. Their accents, use of words, and mannerisms all rang true. And Goose Pimple Junction could be my home town.
Right from the start I was laughing. There’s a scene in the local diner where some ladies are gossiping. It reminded of when I managed a full service gas station. Remember those?
The owner and a bunch of his buddies would hang out at a small table in the corner and gossip. They were worse than any woman.
From what I gather, this book falls between the first and third book in the series. For those of you wanting to learn more about some of the characters, some details about how things came to be, these would be a special treat.
And for those of you who haven’t read the series yet, you’ll want to after visiting Goose Pimple Junction.
The characters are so genuine, the town so familiar, and the laughs so numerous, you can bet your bottom dollar I’ll be following this series now.

Thank you for for this stop on the blog tour and for your wonderful review. BTW–my dad lives in Fairhope, Alabama. Are you by any chance in or near Fairhope?
I sure am. I’ve lived in Fairhope for almost 30 years! No wonder this felt like coming home!
That is awesome! I would love to meet you for coffee the next time I’m in town.
I think that would be fantastic! I’ll be waiting:)
You make Goose Pimple Junction sound like a place I’d love to live, Laura!
My favorite place to read is in my bed, sacrificing sleep for a great read!

So much like my home town Taylor!
I am ready for a bunch of light and fluffy reads once I finish October. I like the sound of this, and that it made you laugh. I will have to check it out!
Oh yeah. I laughed!!
I really want to read this one! My favorite place to read is anywhere and anyplace I really don’t discriminate.
I do take the opportunity wherever I can:)
When you start a new book, do you have all the characters in place and an ending planned, or does it come to you as you write?
Both! For the first book, it came to me as I wrote it. For the second book, I went back and changed who the killer was after the first draft was done. My characters just didn’t agree with me on my first attempt. I guess that’s what I get for trying to tell them what to do . . .
Such a cute face. I would like to visit Goosepimple Junction. 🙂 My favorite place to read is my lounger. Most everything is within reach.
