An American Redneck In Hong Kong

Prior to my surgery, the anesthesiologist explained his part of the procedure to me. I was trying to write a novel in my spare time, something I’d throw out but which would become Vigilante Justice about ten years later. So when the anesthesiologist was done, I asked him a question.
“Do you guys still use succinylcholine?”
He corrected my pronunciation, as I’d only read about it in a library book. “Yes, we do still use it.” He chuckled. “Why, do you plan to paralyze somebody?”
“No, I’m writing a book, and I wondered if someone could put a little in some crack cocaine and kill a drug user.”
The light bulb went on over his tall blonde head. I could see it in his bright blue eyes. “That would work. Wow... yeah, that would work.”
A few moments later, a second light bulb went on over his head. This one made him wonder if maybe I wasn’t an author, but rather a psycho serial killer.
I love doing that to people.


It's not easy for me to find a short excerpt from this book that actually works stand-alone, but there's one.

Here's the official "blurb" for the book:

Can a "serious" author venture into humor without destroying his good name? I suppose we'll find out. It'll be published by Novel Books Inc. in both e-book and paperback formats on June 24, 2002.

True dog stories, cat stories, horse stories, hog stories, redneck stories, and Hong Kong stories.

"Outrageous! Hilarious, great voice, fine structure. Well-written, well-done and I hooeyed out loud a couple of times. Thanks for the read!" --Jeff Rose, author

"Unusual and attention-grabbing. The pacing is just right, the characters are well-developed, the plot is interesting. I applaud your writing skills, and I'll definitely be looking for anything else you've got." --Bethany Harvey, author
