CROOKED ASS ANNIE And The Mystery of The Missing Children

"Everyone in town called her Crooked-Ass-Annie except my mother who wouldn't have such talk in her house..." So begins the story of Crooked Ass Annie a story that must be a dream but then again...isn't. The news is often spiced with stories of the weird or unhinged who seem to be hidden away in every small town across America. From the Salem witch trials to the movie, Psycho, our history and folklore abound with macabre tales of reclusive shut-ins who commit unspeakable crimes but remain hidden from view for years and years. Is Crooked Ass Annie another one of these deeply disturbed characters or is she really Boo Radley of To Kill a Mockingbird fame...a timid, gentle recluse who saves the day? John "The Crabber" White, too curious for his own good, risks his life to find out. Throughout this elaborate mystery the reader is seduced by his own curiosity, setting himself up for the blow of the surprise ending. After reading Crooked Ass Annie, many weeks will pass before the true nature of "Crooked Ass" finally dawns on you. Welcome to the alternative world of Crooked Ass Annie.

About the Author
FRANCIS BENNETT was educated in a Catholic seminary and at the Harvard Business School. This curious combination gave birth to his unusual view of life and his humorous take on all things profound to profane. "All the characters in QUIT SCHOOL! lived in and around Bay Shore when I was a boy. In the process of writing the book I created composites of real people but didn't veer too far from their actual appearance and personality. I wrote the book many years after leaving Bay Shore because, for some reason I'm not sure I understand, these people were the key to my insight into life. I realized that whatever I had become was largely thanks to this group of simple, earthy, largely uneducated blue collar characters I could not seem to forget." Bennett is currently working at his home in Scottsdale, Arizona on his second collection of "QUIT SCHOOL!" lessons learned along life's humorous path.
