SOUTHERN GENTLEMEN 13 testosterone flavored tales by Tony Burnett Set securely in the Southern psyche, the 13 stories blossom into quirky portraits of the male ego. These genre - bending tales find the sweet spot between literature and storytelling. A self-proclaimed foodie convinces himself he has women figured out, until he doesn't. Can a freshly orphaned teenager avoid becoming a ward of the state? A homeless veteran struggles for survival in his home country. Two folk artists use chainsaws to dual for the affections of a young runaway girl. "Through his mastery of voice and dialog, Burnett's characters become larger-than-life members of your dysfunctional family." Kallisto Gaia Press
