He received his undergraduate degree from Furman University in South Carolina and holds a Ph.D. in seventeenth-century English literature from Vanderbilt University.

"I got ready to wrap my loving arms around her and claim her as my long-lost mama, but it was no luck. As she come closer, I seen she was the wrong kind of ugly."
However, Grady also feels an attachment to Floyd. Floyd has always taken care of him, and Grady really doesn't know any other life. When Short Fronie, a pub owner, offers to let Grady stay with her, he considers it. Until Floyd and excitement call again. Even after leaving with Floyd, Grady continues to wonder during the rest of the book if he shouldn't just give it all up and go back to Fronie and finally have a "mama".
Watching Floyd and Grady adapt their act over the years and seeing some of the things they come up with is also a lot of fun. It's not all fun and games, though. Floyd and Grady are travelling hucksters and Grady's starting to wonder if it's really okay to lie to people all the time. What is amusing is how he rationalizes lying to some people about some things. He has categories in his head of who it's okay to fool and which cons are acceptable. And don't start leaving me crazy comments about that. Just read the book. Lying is my number one pet peeve, but I promise the book is funny.
I don't think I can say anything more without giving away too much, but I think readers of all ages will enjoy this story. It's a little bit of "sweet" with a whole lot of "silly".
