Bob Ross's novel The Scarred Woman is being published serially, currently exposing three chapters, or "books." TSW is set in a Midwestern college town in the years 1969 and 1970. The protagonist is a combat pilot hoping to reinvent himself as a grad student while moonlighting as an R&B drummer. Jonas Smith crashes and burns, taking decent people with him. Full of raunchy sex, hilarious fights, and, occasionally, fairly decent prose. Not recommended for the squeamish. For a good time, go to The Scarred Woman.
Thanks. Yours respectfully,
Bob Ross

Author's Bio: Longer ago than anyone can remember, Bob Ross was born in a one-stoplight town in the cattle-raising part of Nebraska. Since attending the University of Nebraska, he has been a rancher, a teacher, and a ne'er-do-well, has studied or taught in Tucson, Seattle, Missoula, Fairbanks, Provincetown, Pocatello, and Mission, South Dakota, and is currently living in San Antonio, Texas. "I have published a book of essays called In The Kingdom of Grass, with co-author Margaret MacKichan. I have published a book of poems called Solitary Confinement. My work has appeared in various literary magazines including Prairie Schooner, CutBank, Kansas Quarterly, Great Plains Quarterly, and Sonora Review. I once published one issue of my own small magazine, Shitepoke, from which battlefield I retured in disgust and humiliation. I won an NEA grant and was a Fellow at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Massachusetts."---Bob Ross
