The James-Younger Gang Ride Again

Back on September 7th, 1876 the James-Younger Gang attempted to rob a Bank in Northfield, Minnesota. I see yesterday, where it looks like a pair pulled off the same stunt . . . but successfully this time! The robbers seem to have had safety on their minds, they both wore reflective gear. Not sure how they escaped but I'm thinking they weren't on horseback. Wouldn't it be something if the pair were apprehended and found to be named Jesse and Frank?

Savanna, Georgia

Running around in shorts in the middle of winter. Love it. The place I'm standing in front of yesterday is the childhood home of Flannery O'Connor.

Any Guesses?

Where in The World can Curt Be?

Tybee Georgia

and lovin' it!

So where am I tomorrow at high-noon eastern time? Guess correctly it's three books for you!

Most Dangerous Place in The World . . . Andy Warhol . . . Criminal Justice Officials in Wisconsin . . . Jayme Closs

If you somehow landed in front of cameras at the press conference regarding Jayme Closs and her unaided escape from Thomas Patterson you would've been trampled. Andy Warhol must of been thinking of Criminal Justice folks in Wisconsin when he said we all gonna get our fifteen minutes of fame. I didn't think the Sheriff, who reminded me of Baloo from Jungle Book, was ever going to shut up. In the end, Thomas Patterson outsmarted law enforcement, the girl escaped without any help from the law and now we have to put up with more self-bravado come four o'clock. One lady should give us all hope. The lady that actually helped Jayme escape. She opted to remain unidentified. Perhaps she was concerned over getting run over - if she got anywhere near that press conference.

Oh, hey . . . did I ever tell you what a great author I am and how great my stories are and how everyone is great in my life? Just kidding. Have a nice weekend.  

And Then there was Tim O'Brien

As you may know I've landed in Georgia to hit the Book Trail from Dalton to Savanna. Had a surprise encounter, I guess ya could say, with none other than Tim O'Connor. No relation to Flannery.

Common question . . . 'How many books you write?' Well lets see here. Have two novels, already published, which can be found online - JusThis and Brand of Justice. My short story, which highlights my style, is available for free on this blog. Just click on the cover, if interested, and read The Bee Killer. You'll only be out a couple of minutes and I am more than glad to answer any questions. A little patience is a must, I've encountered numerous thoughts and opinions and am committed to addressing 'em all.

Currently have completed my third novel . . . The Passionate Jihadist which well be available sooner than later.

Randle McMurphy

Man . . . if more people attempted the impossible what would the world be like? No wonder my story, JusThis, ends with this poem.

Vintery, mintery, cutery, corn,

Apple seed and apple thorn.

Wire, briar, limber lock.,

Three geese in a flock.

One flew east, One flew west, and one flew over the cuckoo's nest.

Southern Hospitality

One Picture is Worth a Million words. . .

One of The Greats . . . Mary Flannery O'Connor

Man, she left us way to early. This living thing can be so unfair at times. Laying of a wreath that was well deserved.

Hartsfield-Jackson International

Pouring Rain . . . but onward to the Book Trail of Georgia and all the grand things it has to offer. Report on my experiences to follow. For now I guess it's time to hang my thumb out and venture toward the great unknown.
