About The Book:  Christmas isn't just about sugar plum fairies and reindeer dancing across the sky. It can also be about red clay chunk wars, cock fighting, dead people who may really not be, and more! Get set for a wild, wild Christmas ride with ChristmaSin', Southern Outlaw Author Ed Williams' take on what a true Christmas in a small, rural Southern town is really all about! Learn about Christmas miracles happening in the most unlikely of settings, the early '70s in tiny Juliette, Georgia. It's a novel that could be true, in some places actually is, and one that will both warm the heart and tickle the funny bone! 

The Review: ChristmaSin is an irreverent look at small town life that could only be done this well by Ed Williams. Being a southern small town girl myself, I laughed throughout this story, and shook my head at some parts because it sounded so much like my own family at times.

Although the language is authentic and the humor bawdy from time to time, I found this story of Christmas back home very funny. While this story may not be for everyone, those of us who have grown up in a small town, have relatives we'd like to pretend we don't know, and love to have a good time will read this story even if it's not Christmastime.

Length: 8 pgs.

About The Book: A young boy loses his belief in Santa and turns to petty shoplifting with the belief that it no longer matters if he's naughty or nice. The lesson he learns as a result is more valuable than anything he could steal. 

The Review: I loved this story. Perhaps it was the nostalgia of another time and place when life was simpler and we all knew our place in society, in our family, and in our town.

Delinquency Report is a slice of life those under forty won't remember and those over forty will never forget. It brought back all those memories of God, country and apple pie when there were no guns in schools, but God was; when bullies got there butts kicked after school, and everyone in town went to the high school football games, and church on Sunday. Those days may be gone for most of the country but it's why I still live in a town like that.

I like remembering the good ol' days when life was simple and there was no more on our plate than what to do on Saturday night. And if you need just a moment to remember when, read Delinquency Report. It will make you smile, make you remember, and bring tears to your eyes.
