Excerpt from 'False Dandelions'

Excerpt from Southern noir  'FALSE DANDELIONS'...


Patty sits quietly at the kitchen table sipping her morning coffee. Jesse is gathering up a few items for his day-long job of picking dandelions for his grandmother. The tension in the air is thick. Patty doesn't look at her son as he goes in and out of the kitchen placing items in plastic grocery bags atop the table. Jesse never makes eye contact with his mother as he places two hand towels and a bottle of water in a bag. Looking downward into her coffee cup, Patty nervously taps her fingers on the table. She's about to explode...

Book ISBN: 978-1478273721............Set in rural Virginia, ‘FALSE DANDELIONS’ is a contemporary Southern crime fiction novel filled with romance, small town secrets, broken dreams and murder as locals from Spotsylvania County and Fredericksburg, including a young disabled Iraq war veteran, stop a misguided band of Washington, DC criminals from setting up shop in their quiet town. When Lamar returned home from Iraq they gave him a hero’s welcome but he actually never felt like a true hero until he pulled off his greatest mission ever. A mission that will make this disabled vet a local legend, and a mission that will literally blow you away. Jesse is a rising star but when his mother’s body was found in the murky waters of the Rappahannock, he trades his prized guitar for a shotgun. Ever since Turtle was little, he was always somebody’s errand boy. Now, twenty years later, he decides to break the mold and that is just the beginning of many mistakes Turtle will make. Randolph Randy Camp’s ‘FALSE DANDELIONS’ is about the lives and dreams of underdogs. When you’re stuck in a nowhere place, physically or mentally, you dream of leaving. When you’ve been a nobody and strive to become somebody, sometimes you succeed, sometimes you don’t. Once again, this prolific award-winning writer paints a straight forward picture of contemporary Southern life and reminds us that, regardless of your income or race, there’s a touch of Jesse in all of us and there’s a little Turtle in all of us.
