LOVE's STORIES:
FISH FRY: Back in the day in rural America there would be celebrations where the residents, dogs included, would turn out for a picnic in the town square. Fish Fry is a story about a dad, uncle and a couple of brothers who are responsible for catching enough fish to feed one hundred residents celebrating 100 years of the towns survival though times good and bad. Fiddle music, square dancing, storytelling, pitching horse shoes and lots of laughter along with homemade ice cream is the order of the day. The story is enjoyed by all ages who want to experience the pure joy of living by those growing up in a simpler time.
A DOG'S BEST FRIEND IS FOOD: “Look at that poor old hound dog,†Sylvester said to his brother Lew when Lucky got up from the dusty street in front of the pool hall and crippled off to lay in the shade of a Hickory nut tree.
MY AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD TRACKER: There's no doubt about which creature can run fastest a turkey or a dog.
DEATH IN A CAVE: Boys will be boys … Three friends decide to explore a cave in the Ozark Mountains where years earlier a couple of fellas went inside and never again saw the light of day. They were forbidden from exploring the cave so they told their parents they were going fishing. Caves are spooky because of screeching fluttering bats, pitch black darkness and tight crawl spaces. Add a couple of bodies and you’ve got a scary scene.
HILLBILLIES ARE SMARTER THAN YOU THINK! PART's 1, 2 & 3 prej·u·dice A preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience. I wrote this series because of something my dad told me years ago after I heard someone making fun of Hillbillies. He said, “People who look down on others because they think that they are better than someone else are sadly mistaken. Fact is, the simple life us country folks live might be a best kept secret in the country.†I could go into a long winded explanation about what’s wrong with making fun of Hillbillies and other ethnic groups, but the video link below featuring “greed†as the main character pretty much says it all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joh5LWr9Chs
COMMENTARY ON SOCIAL NETWORKING: Love wrote this story after a friends grandson was killed by a texting driver. He used a humming bird as a primary source so as not to sound too maudlin. The Kansas City Star and others have published the commentary.
BUYING STUFF: Love wrote a comedy skit for a radio station about compulsive buying and a device he created called a credit card shield. The average American household with at least one credit card has over $15,000 in credit-card debt. “All I want is a little more than I've already got and I'll be happy."
SPEAKING OF FISH: A story about the life of a 100 pound catfish living in the Missouri River. The photo of the fish is worth a thousand words.
Plus, there is an assortment of information including a couple of interviews where Love talks about what it's like growing up in the Ozarks Mountains helping his uncle run a fishing camp when I was a kid.
Most of the novels and short stories in the series are set in the Ozark Mountains and a trademark of Love's stories is they may start scary and strange sometimes but they always end well.
The only adult story Love has written was after he and an associate were abducted by a psychotic old man and held hostage for 1,000 miles from Las Vegas to the Bass Pro Shops in Springfield, Missouri. Toe Tags & TNT is a BLOOD curdling, hilarious
