... will tickle your literary taste buds with a relational gumbo of quirky characters, stirred by the irreverent but sincere Jay Jarvis.

She and a zany assortment of friends turn Jay’s perceptions of life upside down, launching events that leave him and those around him thoroughly Flabbergasted. By the way, when relational gumbo is on the menu, a South Carolina beach makes for great mood lighting. |

A DELIRIOUS SUMMER
Would you travel thousands of miles just to get a date? Jay's buddy Neil is tempted. After leaving his South American language school for a furlough in South Carolina, he steps off the plane to find just what he'd been warned of--Southern girls traveling at blazing speeds through the intersection of Faith and Impatience. Featuring some of the unpredictable females from Flabbergasted such as Darcy, Allie, and Crazy Alexis, A Delirious Summer is the much-anticipated second novel from author Ray Blackston. |

Coming February 12, 2008
Golf and romance collide as golf-range owner Chris Hackett meets an attractive political correspondent who turns his world upside down. Set in Charleston, SC, Par for the Course offers something as rare as a hole-in-one: a relational golf novel!

Chris Hackett owns and operates Hack's Golf Learning Center, an eccentric golf range in Charleston, South Carolina. Chris jumps at the chance to grow his business when an attractive new student and political correspondent, Molly Cusack, suggests that Chris capitalize on the highly polarized presidential election. His pitting of right versus left means even more income, plus a sharp new girlfriend, and soon Chris, his sidekick, Cack, and their unique golf range are the talk of the town . . . until someone takes the political insults too seriously.
The question is, will Molly stick around long enough for Chris to learn the true meaning of "playing politics"? Or is she just another "moving target?"
Par for the Course releases nationwide, Feburary 12, 2008.
