some recent work

Out soon from Frank Hudson! 
Booger County Blues is the second in his hilarious series about life in the tiny, Victorian town of Calvert, Texas, the seat of Robertson County, better known as Booger County.
Is it called this because way back when, it "seemed to be a drawing card for bandits, gamblers, and other bad boogers"? 
Or because of the Bigfoot-type creature that lurks in the Brazos River bottoms?
Either way, you're in for a delightful romp with a cop and a private eye as they chase the bad guys all across Texas and Mexico.

​​The next morning, they would cross over the river and start the drive south.
“You sure this is safe?” For a cop, Riki was showing a lot of signs of paranoia as they drove into Nueva Laredo. 
“They tell us not to go here,” she said. “The State Department has a travel advisory out for Tamaulipas.”
“Riki, it’s just like South Texas, only the roads are bumpy.”

Kept me laughing and nodding in agreement the whole time I was copyediting it!

“Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom!” – Kids are born loud and get heard above the noise!
 
Okay, I will admit that while this one is a tad annoying, it is extremely effective. Kids naturally know that the more noise they make, the more attention they will get, good or bad. As we get older, we understand that we can’t just go screaming anytime we want something, and we become more and more quiet. If we remain quiet long enough, we start to lose that ability to get loud and be heard.
When is the last time you went campaigning for business? When is the last time you got a little loud? I am not advocating screaming and yelling at folks, but think of the right way, place and people to get loud in front and get your brand noticed.
Loud could be wearing clothes that have your logo or brand and doing volunteer work. Loud could be posting images and video on social media while you are out prospecting. Loud could also mean speaking up a little more about what you do and why.
