If you like that, you’ll also like Robert Parker’s Spencer series and his Westerns. He’s from Eastern east Texas: Boston, I think it’s called.

I've had to calm down before commenting because this post scratches some main itches and learning of a new author who writes just for me was pretty exciting. I had not read Joe R. I am such a fan of these quotes and this kind of writing. As soon as I start reading again (what's with THAT?) I am set. Thank you a ton.

Why did this put me in mind just a tad of Carl Hiaasen?

I loved this article, Lee! Made me laugh out loud, and I could hear YOUR voice in my head, with a Texas accent. I'm going to take your advice and give ol' Joe a try. I've been cooking lots of Depression-era meals lately (has nothing to do with depression or lack of food), so makes sense to fit in some DE reading!

Thanks for the laughs today!
