This week’s newsletter is brought to you by local author Bob McGough’s Series Jubal County Saga

Follow the tales of Howard Marsh, the redneck wizard, as he goes about trying to solve the occult mysteries of the Alabama county he calls home. Where we find him is at the bottom, eking out a living as a water witch, a copper thief, a finder of lost things. Untrained and an addict, he uses the drugs that ravage his body to fuel his magic. Within these pages Marsh will work to unravel supernatural oddities as only a redneck wizard can: poorly, and with much cursing.
