A few years ago, I remember telling my friend that I was thinking about writing a story about a character named Turtle. She misunderstood me and replied, "Randy, I know that you love to write but I didn't know that you wrote children's books also." Our conversation was brief but ended on a positive thought so I left it as that and didn't bother to explain myself further. Actually, Turtle is one of the main characters in my novel FALSE DANDELIONS, a Southern tale about the lives and dreams of underdogs. Turtle is an aging street dog who is tired of always being somebody else's errand boy and struggles to break out on his own.
Sometimes, we all may find ourselves in a place where we don't want to be. And at times, there's no difference between people like Turtle and you and I. Every single day of the week somebody is struggling to climb out of their hole. I believe that there's a little Turtle in all of us, and that's why I wrote False Dandelions. The better we understand people like Turtle, the better we can reach out and help them.

Jesse, the up and coming country star, has dreams of Nashville. In their small rural County of Spotsylvania, Virginia, Jesse falls head over heels in love with a young ebony princess named LaBrea, and who also happens to be the Sheriff's daughter. This is just one of the juicy stories within Randolph Randy Camp's contemporary Southern noir crime novel FALSE DANDELIONS. Here are samples and little excerpts from the novel:
Exiting the bus is Jesse Raine and LaBrea Woods. Sweethearts since last summer, the interracial couple raise a few eyebrows around the county. Jesse stands tall wearing a confident, big country smile. LaBrea's flawless brown skin and curvaceous body, wrapped tightly in stylish jeans, turns all the boys' heads. LaBrea blushes. Nonchalantly, Jesse continues to spread his cowboy grin. LaBrea bends over to pluck a white, lollipop head of tiny weightless spheres then playfully blows them off the flower head. The air is filled with a white cloud of floating dandelion wishes. Roland, a Black boy who has been trying to get LaBrea's attention, shifts his eyes on her curvy backside as Jesse's white hand gently slides into his girlfriend's back pocket. Consumed with jealousy, Roland sighs then turns up his lip in distaste.
