Is There a Lit'l Turtle in You?
Working from paycheck to paycheck in a going-nowhere, thankless job, we sometimes get the feeling that we're just errand runners for others. In 'FALSE DANDELIONS' the character 'Turtle' has always been somebody's errand boy. As time went on, Turtle has become an old street dog who has made a few bad decisions...one of which is deciding to steal money from a drug deal and quietly skip town. At times, there's a little Turtle in all of us...sometimes when you feel stuck in a nowhere place and you feel like there's no way out, you began to get anxious and desperate...When you've always been a nobody, you feel a hunger to be a somebody. Turtle was tired of always being somebody else's errand boy. He wanted to run his own game...to become his own man. When you take a gamble as Turtle did in 'FALSE DANDELIONS', sometimes you win -- sometimes you lose.

Another Excerpt from 'Wet Matches: A Novel'
Another Excerpt from 'Wet Matches: A Novel'
How far would you go for a friend? Fifteen years of separation didn't stop Crystal from being there for Jalan. What Crystal did for Jalan will inspire us all to take a closer look at our own relationships and friendships.
Could you still laugh knowing that death was possibly lurking around the corner? Meet five teens (Shelly, Josie, Robbie, Cole and Micky) who will make you think twice about your own life and possibly inspire you to live every moment to the fullest. *Note: All five teens in this triumphant-over-tragedy story are HIV positive.
*'WET MATCHES: A NOVEL' takes a contemporary look at America's ever-increasing youth runaway and teen homeless problems. Look for the print or ebook version on Amazon.
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.
‘FALSE DANDELIONS’ is available in paperback and eBook (Kindle) on Amazon.
