Anne Bonney Reader's Choice Award Winner for Most Humorous.

Quill Award Nominee.

Bertie Byrd is unique. To say the least.

She calls Sweet Meadow, Georgia, home, where she works for her father doing auto repairs. She also drives the tow-truck, although Sweet Meadow's rather colorful denizens tend to treat Bertie more like the local, free taxi service. You know, someone has to get to a doctor's appointment or pick something up at the dry cleaners.

Bertie's favorite day of the week is Friday, when she leaves the wrecker with her father for the whole weekend and joins her friends at the Dew Drop Inn for a night of dancing. Her best friend, Mary Lou, sometimes fixes her up with dubious dates, although Bertie has to remind her friend not to tease her hair too high for those occasions. Like the time when they went to Carrie Sue's open house, and a ceramic cow with angel wings hanging from a ceiling fan locked its hooves into Bertie's big hair and refused to let go. She had to wear it all night, dangling chain and all.

Bertie's nearly perfect life is about to take a downhill turn, however. It starts when her landlord, Pete, currently a resident in a nearby nursing home, starts showing up at her house. In his birthday suit. A very badly wrinkled birthday suit. And then she goes to her mailbox, a rubber large mouth bass, and finds a notice from the zoning commission saying she can no longer park the wrecker in her driveway. The notice is signed by George Bigham. But when she goes to the courthouse to take care of her little problem, it is only to discover George Bigham is deceased. And Mary Lou's pregnancy test just came up positive. Can it get any worse?

In a word... yes.

 

Reviews

 

"... her [WILSON'S] debut novel is an affectionate chronicle of one woman's discovery that commitment, support and trust are closer than she thought."

~ Bestselling Author, Sandra Chastain

"An outrageously funny novel brimming with quirky characters and page-turning calamities, Big Hair And Flying Cows is a stunning vehicle for Ms. Wilson"s southern humor. Fresh and wacky, this unique story blind sides the reader with genuine tenderness providing a rich and satisfying read."
~ Multi Published Author of Jinxed, and Charmed, Beth Ciotta

"Cows do truly fly and hair piles up bigger and bigger in Dolores J. Wilson's hilariously unique Southern neighborhood. The book is homespun funky fun for anyone who thumbs a ride in Bertie Byrd's tow truck cab and gets taken along for a lively jaunt through the backwoods and back tires of Sweet Meadow, Georgia. 'Tis a sweet story that sweetens the heart and the funny bone wonderfully."
~ Darlene H. Eaton, Award Winning Author of The Osceola Community Club


"Open Big Hair And Flying Cows to any page, any paragraph, or any sentence… I dare you not to laugh. Southern humor at its best! Dolores J. Wilson's rich, delightful voice fills the pages of this debut novel."
~ Romance Novels Resource Center

"Big Hair And Flying Cows is positively the most hysterically funny book I've ever read. Dolores J. Wilson writes a laugh-until-it-hurts book that will have your sides aching as you turn the pages to see what calamity will befall the long-suffering Bertie next. This is one book you'll want to share with your friends and family so they can laugh along with you."

"Dolores J. Wilson has spun a delightful, entertaining tale that can be enjoyed by readers of all ages."

A PERFECT TEN!
"Say a big howdy-do and write the author's name down. Dolores J. Wilson has snuck out of nowhere and exploded on my reading radar. Not only is Big Hair And Flying Cows a keeper for this reader, but one that I plan on reading again for sheer enjoyment. Complete with an awesome secondary cast of characters and side-cramping humor, it's definitely a contender for my best book of the year list. At the very least, it deserves a Perfect 10, RRT's highest honor for those books that make our hearts pitter-patter. I see a very bright future for the very talented Ms. Wilson for years to come."
~ Romance Reviews Today

"More Southern fun than a great mint julep. Don't miss it!"
