As with many survivors, Kennesaw used humor to break the cycle of abuse. His weekly column pokes fun at anyone not fast enough to get out of the way. I’m Ugly And Broke, I Got The South In My Mouth and the soon to be released I’ve Fallen And My Names Not Chuck, are compilations of his humor.
The Redneck Cooker is a humorous southern cookbook. It lays the blame for his formidable cooking skills on those who made him the redneck cooker he is, that is to say the women he grew up with.
The recently released, The Vampire’s Shadow, is a fiction. It is the story of the struggle between good and evil and begs the question, is a vampire evil, or is man the ultimate evil? An erotic thriller, it is infused with sex, blood and explicit death. The Vampire’s Shadow takes place in Columbia, South Carolina and is the first the series. The Goddess Of Ocean Drive, being written on location in South Beach, is the second.
