WIP: DYNAMIC DUO OF THE OZARKS

A work-in-progress by Jeff Boggs

Mykel & Sherry go to the Lake of the Ozarks to ride the Captain Larry Don, eat corn dogs, drink lemonade, buy some Dam Candy, and Sherry meets Mykel’s junior high crush & her creepy boyfriend.

We meet Lovable Lance’s rival from country radio station K-B-U-B, Cousin Clyde. Also pay close attention to the little boy. Comment if you pick up anything about him.

This is Mykel Daring, the main character of my novel, Dynamic Duo of the Ozarks. Described the other characters, including Silvy’s aunt, as “a short boy with hair like the Beatles and President Kennedy’s accent.” Using the same A-I program I tried last time, although with better results.

I decided that since I was writing about two characters from Knob Noster, Missouri, that I should drive around the town and see what it was like. Most importantly, can people see the missiles at Whiteman Air Force Base. I Googled how long it would take to get there from where I live in Lebanon, …
