About This Book
Twenty years of living in Greater Metropolitan Roopville taught Truman Fable all he needed to know about the South: that twenty years was barely a toehold in time to a true Southerner. In this light, lively tale Truman manages to out-maneuver his social gaffes with the help of his friendly attorney Jim Dimity, sexy Judge Butler, Jim's hot-tempered sister Sally, social icons Junior and Daphne Butterswing (of THE Butterswings of Wett Lake Drive), Pastor Joe Otis Jackson, appealing Nancy Sweetanall and Truman's nemesis, serial bride Mrs. Viola Hassendoodle. Toss in a few playful goats, mix well with a dash of hometown events and add the occasional small town ode and you, too, will know what it takes to live in the rural South. "Greater Metropolitan Roopville may not be the end of the world, but there is a strong argument for it as the Chatterstrip at the End of Civilization." Jay Michael Jones lives in a small Southern town and is the proud parent of three. Jay holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theater, a fancy way of saying "he learned something along the way" since Jay developed a pronounced case of stage fright shortly before graduation. Jay is the author of the Science Fantasy Romance series Flight of the Armada, a Young Adult novel Mr. Nice Guy, Southern Humor Fiction A Chatterstrip at the End of Civilization and the based-on-a-true-fable tale The Biggest Little Fan of the Red Ball Express. When not writing Jay sings, draws the online comic strip Just Peachy and collects anything and everything to do with goats. Jay was nominated for the Georgia Author of the Year Award in 2012 for Flight of the Armada - Book One.
