Corey Jenkins has crafted a set of stories that will have you crying, laughing and begging for more. Told with folksy humor & down home charm, "Lines, Tines & Southern Pines" is a treat for all who enjoy the outdoors with friends & family. Its written by a fun-loving prankster, a real man, with wit & style. it will delight readers to the very last word. *** Robert Bailey, Author of “The Professor” and “Between Black and White” *** Henry David Thoreau wrote that a lot of men fish all their lives without ever realizing that fish isn't really what they're after. That, in one sentence encapsulates the theme of Lines, Tines & Southern Pines. The author skillfully articulates what is truly derived from growing up in the outdoors and the mysteries in the woods and beckoning waters of lakes, streams and ponds. He entertains and moves us artfully in crafting the companionship and closeness of a Grandfather, Dad, Mom, family, friends and provides insights about the true essence of nature and the powerful yet peaceful effect it can infuse within those receptive to its charms. One reviewer commented, "I remember reading the story of a commercial airline pilot whose copilot asked him why, on one of their regular routes, he always looked down and sighed at the same place on a tiny river each time they passed over it. He replied that when he was a small boy he would be sitting down there on a log, fishing, when planes would fly over, and he would wish with all his heart that he were up there flying the plane. But now that he was grown and flying, all he wished for with all his heart was that he could be that small boy again, back down on that log fishing. For anyone who loves the outdoors and craves to go back and be that small boy or girl again, reliving the joy and innocence of a blessed childhood well lived in the outdoors with loved ones now gone, Corey has stories that will take you back in your mind to those times in your life, and bring smiles to your face, and maybe tears to your eyes." ***Steve Hacker, Florence, Alabama, www.smallmouth.com*** “This is the top book in this genre I've read in years. I chuckled out loud, and even wiped a tear during some touching scenes. The crazy tales are mindful of Huckleberry Finn on steroids. Corey’s style is transparent, fluid, comical, and genuine. He is the kind of guy I’d like to meet. His book is absolutely a delight for all ages, male and female. There are some rather intriguing fishing and hunting episodes, but the true emphasis is on relationships, fun, and insights about lessons learned in the outdoors.” ***Rocky McElveen, Master Guide/Owner, Alaskan Adventures and Author of the top selling “Wild Men, Wild Alaska” books. ***
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Corey Jenkins was born and raised in Hartselle, a small town in North Alabama. After graduating from Hartselle High School, he left home to earn his B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He completed this degree as quickly as possible, graduating in just over three year. Realizing that he had been in a hurry to graduate for no apparent reason, Corey then attended Cumberland School of Law and earned his Juris Doctorate. Continuing his quest to be an eternal student, he then moved to Gainesville, Florida to earn his LL.M. in taxation from the law school at the University of Florida. Upon finishing his formal education, he moved back to North Alabama to practice corporate and tax law. His decision to move home was based largely on his overwhelming desire to return to the woods and waters that he grew up hunting and fishing. He introduced his wife Lauren to the outdoors of his youth, and they now spend time hunting, fishing, and enjoying the outdoors with their two daughters. Through the years, Corey has won numerous awards and received countless accolades, the most important of which include: (1) winning the Plano Junior Alabama State Bass Fishing Championship at 15; (2) being named in the top 100 non-professional typists in the country at 17; (3) receiving a large first place trophy for winning a putt-putt tournament at 17 (which he still proudly displays to this day); (4) winning a bottle of champagne that he was too young to drink at a skeet shooting tournament off the back of a cruise ship at 17 by hitting 30 straight clays (which he also still keeps to this day, unopened) and; (5) receiving the “Dad of the Year” award from his daughters’ classes for several consecutive years. While Corey’s extensive bucket list has evolved over time, writing a book has been a mainstay on the list … until now. Lines, Tines & Southern Pines is Corey’s first book.
