Redemption for a Redneck is the second book of the proposed “RedneckTrilogy” which will present novels in three different genres, a tragedy(Requiem), a love story (Redemption) and a suspenseful mystery (Resurrection, due in 2012). John P. Schulz is a student and admirer of the north Georgia rednecks. He grew up with them, and worked with them for years.
John says, “The people I call rednecks are proud of the name. I value my relationships with Bud, Mr. Duck, and Travis (who drives around on his pimped out lawnmower helping people). I like writing books about rednecks because I never know what they are going to do or in what manner they will solve a problem and that’s where the humor comes from. These people are true survivors in a difficult world.
“Rednecks are more than a series of jokes. They are more than a lifestyle; they are a genre. The true rednecks know how to do things. They know how to work, and they hold a sense of values from generations past. They love their gardening, their music, and their families.”
John P. Schulz spent his formative years growing up in the southeastern United States, and received a degree in English from the University of Georgia. With the exception of a short time teaching, John has held many important positions that range from garbage truck driver to ornamental plant grower to hardware salesman in rural Alabama. He has been a landscape designer and installer for over thirty years. He currently refers to himself as a landscape artist and as a writer. He lives in Rome, Georgia with his wife, Dekie, and one special coonhound named Speck.
