Adventures in Bad Writing With Dwayne And Jessica

by Ed Buhrer

It doesn't take much to write badly, and it takes even less to write badly badly, but it's a lot more difficult to write badly well and make the reader want to keep turning pages. Ed Buhrer's Adventures in Bad Writing with Dwayne and Jessica is good, well-written bad writing that is still fun to read. "Why?" you may ask. Okay, picture a slightly deranged Nancy Drew dating one of the Hardy Boys-Joe, probably. There you will have Dwayne, the disgustingly amiable computer geek who's addicted to celery, and Jessica, the athletic and assertive woman of the new millennium whose "rapier-like elbows" keep Dwayne in line and the bad guys at bay. Hardly a moment in an adventure goes by without mystery, heart-stopping, cliff-hanging crises, unlikely coincidences, and verbose redundancy that would make even redundantly verbose James Fenimore Cooper envious. Travel along with Dwayne and Jessica on one adventure and you'll be hooked for the rest.

About the author

Hi. I grew up for the first 38 years in New Jersey, minus four while I was away in the Air Force. If you grow up in Jersey, you can survive anywhere and drive anywhere. I now live in rural central Virginia with my wife of almost fifty years and three feline road orphans. When I'm not writing, I garden, read, chop wood, and to let off steam, I participate in full-contact sarcasm and occasionally hunt deer flies with my Red Ryder BB gun. To date (December 2013), I have 17 books for Kindles with Amazon and six published books, two still in print. You can also visit my humble blog at
