Crooked Creek: A Comedy about Writer's Block and a Neurotic Home Owners Association by Fredrick Robertson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Billy hit paydirt with his first novel, rocketing out of obscurity into stardom. Now his publisher is haranguing him for the next book and Billy is suffering from a case of writer’s block. Moving back to his hometown, is supposed to inspire him into writing the next book, but he runs afoul a neurotic Homeowners Association who seems determined to harass and distract Billy from his writing. There are a plethora of crazy characters in this book, all whom contribute to the humor and gags.
Although this was a short book, the story was nice and easy flowing, and Billy portrayed a frantic and exasperated writer suffering from writers block very well. What didn’t sit so well with me was the multitude of grammatical and syntax errors. I believe that the book could do with another round of editing and proofreading. A good short story if you can overlook that.
