Eula's Jug

Fly Boy was a barefoot sharecropper's son when he met the woman he called Aunt Eula, and soon learned to love her. Sadly though, he knew nothing of the hidden stresses of her past that would drive them both beyond the limits of morality, and set him on a path fraught with the horror of deliberate executions.

About the Author

Eula's Jug was inspired by the "lost kid" posters I saw in every post office from Florida to Canada, because I wanted shock parents into being more attentive to their children to by taking them inside the activities of the kidnapper. Due to the trauma associated with the writing of this book, I started it, and then trashed it several times, because it seemed to pull me to close to the horror of the story. I finally hit on the idea of using Fly Boy as the story teller, which had the effect of putting space between the writer and the story. Long ago I set a task for myself that I would have one of my paintings hung in a gallery, publish a novel, and then publish a song. I now have two paintings hanging in a gallery, and when I publish my next book "Jubal's Womb," I'm going to slip one of the songs I've written into the text and I will have completed my task. Yeah, I know I cheated but I'm getting old now, and may not have time to publish the song separately.
