Well, Adventures of an
Arkansawyer is finally out in ebook. You can save about $5 on it if you
prefer electronic format over print. This is my memoir up to the time I left
Arkansas. Eventually there will be a second installment that covers
post-Arkansas memories. I’m pretty sure that one will be called “Tales of An
ArkansawTraveller.”
It’s clear in the book description that the first third of
this book is a revised and expanded version of the Days of Beer ebook. The last
two-thirds are all new and true adventures set mostly around and about the farm
where I grew up. So if you already have “Days of Beer,” keep this in mind.
Among the new pieces that very few people are likely to have
seen are such tales as: “Be Careful What You Ask For,” which reveals the time
my grandfather tried to kill me, Snake Charmer, in which I introduced my mom to
a pet grass snake at the dinner table, and “Of Cats, Kittens, and Coon Hounds,”
in which a feral cat came to visit and was met with staunch resistance from our
resident pack of Coon Hounds. (Remember, the vast
majority of these stories, while real, are at least slightly “tongue-in-cheek.”

ReplyDeleteRT, thankee!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the pub! Sounds like a good read.
ReplyDeleteGreg, I hope it is. I put a lot of work into it.
ReplyDeleteGood thing you didn't study law heh? That would be a kind of cheesy title "Adventures of an about to be Arkanasawyer Lawyer?"
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's time to see if the kindle still works, snooping in on an adults youth is sometimes enlightening about the man you've become.
I would really be interested Charles, I'll check it out whether I can buy eBook or not from here, and ha :) to tales of Arkansawyer :)
ReplyDeleteKeep 'em coming, Charles. I enjoy reading your memoirs.
ReplyDeleteMark, Dale Bumpers, who grew up in Charleston and was a lawyer as well as a politician, already wrote a book called "Best Lawyer in a one Lawyer town."
ReplyDeleteLisa, these days most of these books do get offered through amazon all over the world. They are sold through local affiliates.
David C., thanks, man
Just bought it and am looking forward to reading it, Charles.
ReplyDeleteCharles-I think I would like a book of those stories of your life!
ReplyDeleteOscar, thanks, man. I hope you'll find it funny!
ReplyDeleteJodi, I was actually kind of surprised I had so many funny stories from childhood.
Just grabbed my copy. I have no doubt I will enjoy it as much as I have everything I've read of yours. I always look forward to your work, man.
