Synopsis
Bless their little hearts… Marriage is a compilation of laughter, tears, and occasional inane spats over nothing, Life in the south is a combination of sass, sophistication, and sticky situations. When you mix these together, the result is gut-splitting hysterical. In these Southern short stories, the whimsical Williams couple takes readers on the highs and lows of their Southern marriage. Dalton Williams, a well-meaning and kind-hearted gentleman, has ideas that are quirky and kooky—many times going awry. His practical and sensible wife, Grace, keeps him grounded. Embark upon a fun-filled and hilarious journey through the aisles of Publix supermarket to the frustration of Daylight Saving Time. Dalton and Grace are familiar faces experiencing life’s oftentimes silly mundanity, and when you add their adorable and sassy Aunt Toogie, you have a real southern treat!

Take time to reflect at Christmas

We all tend to get rushed and busy at Christmas, planning for gifts, parties, and other festive activities. But we all should slow down and reflect on the true story, and meaning, of Christmas. We wrote about that, tongue in cheek, with the Christmas story presented on Twitter.

Book Excerpt

Dalton and Grace

W ith apologies to Gospel writers St. Matthew and St. Luke, here is the Christmas story told, in 2019 Anno Domini style, on Twitter in 140 or fewer characters.
