Bubba Jones

I have a friend who is getting his first book published this November. For years he, like many struggling writers, has been trying to get some of his work published. He finally struck it big with his latest novel. It is called Bubba Jones by Gary Simmons.

What would you do if you just won 1.75 million dollars? Say that you are mentally challenged. Now what would you do? Bubba Jones is mentally challenged and he did just win 1.75 million dollars. Will he light his cigars with hundred dollar bills? Will he find all new friends? Will he go out and buy new houses and cars for himself and all his family?

Set in the late sixties, the story is told with the obvious expertise of a storyteller born and raised in the deep south. The characters are fleshed out brilliantly and the scenery is described so well, you almost believe you are there in the moment. It is comical yet still has plenty of drama to keep it interesting.

It is available for pre-order on http://www.amazon.com/, http://www.booksamillion.com/, and http://www.barnesandnoble.com/. You can also order it through the publisher at their site, http://www.publishamerica.com/.

For a preview of the first chapter and to learn more about the author, go to http://www.bubbawjones.com/. Read the chapter and let the author know what you think. Also, let others know about this new novel. They'll thank you when they finish it.
