What did I want out of life? Only one thing, really. To make love to a beautiful girl before the Rap

About Me


The Dirty Parts of the Bible, a comedic novel
It’s 1936 and 19-year-old Tobias Henry is stuck in the frozen hinterlands of Michigan. Tobias is obsessed with two things: God and girls.
Mostly girls.
But being a Baptist preacher’s son, he can’t escape God.
When his father is blinded in a bizarre accident, Tobias rides the rails to Texas in search of a lost fortune. Along the way, he is initiated into the hobo brotherhood by Craw, a ribald yet wise black man. Obstacles arise in the form of a saucy prostitute, a giant catfish, and a flaming boxcar. But when he meets Sarah, a farm girl under a dark curse, he finds out that the greatest challenge of all is loving a woman.
Sammy Conner is descended from a Texas clan of farmers, preachers, Indians, and outlaws. A recovering Baptist, he lives in Nashville, Tennessee.
