Written out of sudden flash of imagination The Tales is a set of ten satirical short stories that take on the current economic struggles and demise of the American auto industry. The dialogue packed comedy series takes us to Blueberry, a town centrally located within Blueberry County that is famous for bad quality air and “nocturnal activities” detrimental to the community. Economic hardship has taken its tool on this town. Small businesses closed, unemployment has been high for years while young and career oriented have left to seek opportunities elsewhere. Only the gas station with adjunct small truck rest next to the interstate has remained unharmed. We follow lives of recently married Billy and Martha who hang on the bottom of the social ladder while trying to work on perfect marital harmony. Each episode boils in pulp humor par excellence until it all erupts at the end. Cleverly written. Hilarious. You’ll laugh hysterically. These stories are not just an ordinary clash of marital opinions they are humorous duel of ridiculous versus insane.

Howdy folks. Cowboy Jimmy’s here. I hope you had a chance to read some of my works. I have published my short stories “The Tales” at the beginning of the 2012 although I fully completed them at the end of 2008. The Tales is a set of 10 short stories but I have written even more. If you’d like to see “The Tales Volume 2” please say so in the comments.
Also I’ll publish a short novella “Cheeseburger” soon. This will be a humorous yet bizarre story of culture and generational clash in contemporary USA. Unlike “The Tales” this novella is R rated, absolutely politically incorrect and the humor is mostly aimed toward male readers. I’d like you to know that.
Have a nice day and God bless you.
