You’ve Read His Rollicking Memoir … Now Read His Rollicking Fiction!
Reef Perkins Gets Downright Funny!
Earlier this year Key West’s legendary adventurer Reef Perkins wrote his memoir, a bestselling book titled Sex, Salvage & Secrets. It chronicled his days as a Special Warfare warrior in ‘Nam, a top secret diver at AUTEC, a drug smuggler in the Caribbean, and an underwater salvager in the Southernmost City in the Continental US. All true stories — but told with a hilarious tongue-in-cheek style that had you chuckling along with Reef’s wild escapades.
Sex, Salvage & Secrets had lots of people reciting that familiar catch phrase, “Perkins, I’m worried about you.”
Well, we’re not so worried anymore.
Reef Perkins again is going to make you laugh out loud, this time with a new book titled Screwed, Blu’d and Tattooed. This foray into fiction will demonstrate that Reef’s storytelling abilities extend well beyond the realms of true stories.
As he tells us, “There is little useful information in this book. I made up some words. Most of the facts are wrong. Some of the timing is off and all emotions are temporary. No fictional turtles, dogs, stink-bugs, birds or worms where harmed during the writing. Except for the fly, the fly was real and for that I am sorry.”
Here you will meet Blu Yunger, a young hotshot in a stolen 1955 Ford Fairlane, out for the joy ride of his life. Along the way you’ll meet the beauteous Fakyah Aineedair, Big Roid Bagwith, and the unforgettable Trout Bender. If this picaresque adventure isn’t enough to hold you, there’s a handful of other tales to tug on your brainpan too.
“We have uncovered a true talent here,” observes Hollis George, editorial director of Absolutely Amazing eBooks. “We thought Reef was good for a few stories about his military career or his drug smuggling days, but to our delight we have discovered a latter-day Mark Twain. His new book had me laughing till tears rolled down my cheeks.”
Screwed, Blu’d & Tattooed is available as an ebook (only $ 3.99) or as a sturdy 6″ x 9″ paperback ($ 14.95). To buy a copy, simply go to the publisher’s online bookstore at AbsolutelyAmazingEbooks.com or to Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
Yes, you can find his memoir Sex, Salvage & Secrets there too.
Reef’s books make great stocking stuffers, laugh-out-loud bedside reading, or the pages can be rolled into a passable joint. Well, those first two things at least.
