Synopsis

Lightnin' by Frank Bacon is a lively and warmly comedic classic that captures the charm of small-town America through sharp dialogue, big-hearted humor, and a cast of unforgettable characters.

Set around a rural hotel and its lively orbit of locals, visitors, and schemes, the story follows the easygoing, disarming Lightnin’ Bill Jones as everyday troubles, misunderstandings, and human nature collide in ways that are as funny as they are revealing. With wit that feels immediate and scenes that read like a performance, the narrative moves briskly from comic mix-ups to moments of surprising tenderness.

Blending farce, romance, and satirical observation, Lightnin' celebrates the resilience of ordinary people and the odd, endearing logic of community life. If you enjoy vintage humor, character-driven storytelling, and a timeless sense of place, this edition offers a spirited, entertaining read that still lands with clarity and charm.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Wayne Smith has traveled from the jungles of Mexico to the Arctic regions of this continent. He has hiked and backpacked thousands of miles of backwoods trails including the Pacific Crest Trail, Appalachian Trail, and King Crest Trail. He is a survivor of a bear attack in Canada in 1972 and returned to that location again in 2001 to relive the event. He bares the scars left by an encounter by both a bobcat and an alligator. By education, Smith holds a doctorate in Social and Behavioral Science. He has much knowledge about human behavior and interpersonal relations. His post graduate studies in criminal behavior were inspired by his being witness to nine homicides in a two-year period. He has also been in a shoot out with three felons that were attempting to rape and murder two of his daughters. To date Smith has sold over 2,700 newspaper stories and radio scripts. All of his stories are based upon his personal experiences with both man and beast. At age 70 Smith says, "I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do when I grow up."
