Overview
Reminiscent of off-beat writing in the styles of Tom Robbins, Carl Hiaasen, and Christopher Moore comes a novel sure to appeal to the readers of fast-moving, humorous fiction. Set in an imaginary corner of the Ozarks, the zany characters in Hog Lick, AR are drawn together by some unusual situations surrounding September 11th. Smuggling illegal aliens to work in the poultry industry, converting an airport metal detector for finding unauthorized theater treats, running a private speed trap, reclaiming of an abandoned town and scheming to profitably process chicken manure are among the antics of a cast of characters that includes considerable Arkansas imaginary local color and a Middle -Eastern motel/convenience store manager. Mayhem, murder, missteps and an FBI terrorist investigation and much more join the silliness and homespun philosophy to keep the plot perking. New author Mike Marsh lives in Northwest Arkansas, where he fishes and sometimes writes. He retired early from a career selling the skins for skinless weenies.
