Tuey’s Course was a challenging and fun book to write. The
idea came about after a good friend had read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn for the third time. He mentioned
that it was almost impossible to understand what Jim had to say because the
dialogue was so skewed. He suggested that I create a character that would offer
the same speech. So Tuey was created.
I literally laughed out loud as I wrote this book. It was
such fun to write. Because the character’s journey was disjointed I decided to
keep the events of the story foggy as well. Thus, it is a hard book to read for
two reasons. One, it jumps in and out of various scenes and two, the dialect of
Tuey is difficult to understand.
The story? Tuey is a hardworking, but simple man. His
efforts to succeed are constantly throttled back by the politics of City Hall.
This provides problems as those around him experience success. Lots of it. Since
Tuey is on the bottom step of the food chain, life’s problems trickle down. He
spins in circles that magnify the frustrations.
After landing a job at a local golf course primarily through
a friendship that a regular golfer had with the proprietor, Tuey begins a
work-related journey that spins in circles much like his life. Others make good
while Tuey becomes frustrated. An easy task experiences delays. Problems
surface. Personalities clash. Emotions boil over.
The final pages are a surprise. You’ll have to read Tuey’s Course to see why his fantasy is warped in time. Hard cover and
paperback editions are available on Amazon. Members of Amazon Prime and Kindle
Unlimited can read the eBook for free.
