Inhaltsangabe

Book Description Set against a backdrop of blues music, Woke Up This Morning is a humorous take on the conflict caused in a small island community and in the island ecology by a wild growing field of marijuana. Editorial Reviews "Bill Stephens' Woke Up This Morning is a dizzying mix of Mexican drug dealers, Port Aransas shrimpers, a zany evangelical church, wild cognizant critters, and 'stoners' high on wild growing marijuana. The result is a coherent and fast-paced portrayal of life and conflict on Texas' Mustang Island. Throw in danger, suspense, the supernatural, and comedy, and the pages turn themselves. Highly enjoyable!" -Florence Weinberg, author of Unrest in Eden "In Bill Stephens' Woke Up This Morning, shrimper Harpoon Conroy makes one huge mistake that throws the entire population of Mustang Island into an uproar. After a series of calamities and adventures he finds redemption and discovers what he truly loves. Add to that mix a wry humor and a delightful array of characters and critters, interacting in a plot that surprises and enthralls, Woke Up This Morning is guaranteed to keep readers turning the pages." -Linda Lucretia Shuler, author of Hidden Shadows Publisher's Comment: Bill Stephens writes about what he knows, where he's been, and what he's experienced - or at least dreamed of. His acquaintances know him as a great cook and successful restaurateur; his friends as a warm, generous and delightfully funny individual. His readers will come to know him as a wonderful story-teller who can make you laugh and cry in the same chapter.
