The Watermelon Pump

An aging and cantankerous small-town newspaper editor who keeps her pet chicken in the office runs The Watermelon Pump. Luling, Texas' weekly paper, known primarily for its wedding announcements and garage sale ads.

High school students do the reporting and photography, and there's never been trouble before. But they've never had an intern like Myron Wesley. A true born sociopath instantly recognizable to anyone who knows anything about life.

A good Texas yarn alternatively hilarious, sad, quirky, poignant and satisfying. A relaxing, fun read for all ages.
