WIP: DYNAMIC DUO OF THE OZARKS

A work-in-progress by Jeff Boggs

As I have mentioned on this webpage before, I listen to the music of the point in time that this novel takes place. Part of the novel revolves around Mykel becoming an intern at the popular Top 40 radio station, K-I-L-L. I have made several playlist for my iPod and Spotify of the hits of …

This post is about a hit love song and a member of the Kansas City Chiefs, but it is not about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey.

NOTE: This is a later chapter. Mykel is asked to help with a remote at a boat show. They needed a girl to model a swimsuit and Sherry volunteers. As with many radio remotes, things go wrong.
