  1. So, I'm pretty excited about this book. This is absolutely a work of fiction. I begin by stating that. Nine years ago, however, I encountered the main character of this book in real life. A rural county sheriff who was a bad person. Investigating him and his cronies led to this tall tale of corruption, crime, and the sorts of malfeasance that can fester in a remote Appalachian setting where the law is whatever the powerful say it is. The names and crimes are altered for fictional purposes. My mother was a proud West Virginia "hillbilly," a term she used to describe herself, not as the derogatory inference as it has become today. She loved her West Virginia roots and her big family. So, the book's flavor is steeped in her corny sayings and my grandmother's words. I can still hear "Lawsy mercy" in my head. So, someday when "It's hotter 'n blazes" or when "it's colder than a well-digger's ankles" outside, I hope you'll curl up and enjoy reading my Appalachian novel GOOSE CREEK HOLLER. The ebook is now up for preorder at all online retailers with a delivery date of 8/1/26. MONEY. MOUNTAINS. MURDER. Enjoy. #novel #fiction #reading #readingCommunity #readers #read #author #authors #readThis #preorder #writingCommunity #appalachia #hills #newBook #new #books #mastodon #bookstodon #booksky #bookReview #writing #publishing #country #character #sheriff #corruption #crimeFiction #crime #book #slang #southern #words #criminal #murder #marijuana #goosecreekholler #sophiajanehayden

  7. "Law enforcement uncovered physical, medical, forensic, ballistic and reenactment evidence that contradicted the... sheriff's account of his wife's 1967 murder."

    So investigators just ignored 100% of the evidence in front of them and went with whatever the boss said? jfc 😡

  11. #Florida #sheriff warns protesters ahead of nationwide rallies: ‘We will kill you dead’

    ‘We will be notifying your family where to collect your remains, because we will kill you, graveyard dead,’ the sheriff eerily warned Thursday

    Friday 13 June 2025

    "A Florida sheriff issued a stark message to protesters planning to demonstrate this weekend against increasing ICE arrests nationwide.

    "#BrevardCounty Sheriff #WayneIvey warned in a press conference Thursday that if any protesters 'throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun,' they will be killed.

    " 'If you block an intersection or a roadway in Brevard County, you are going to jail. If you flee arrest, you’re going to go to jail tired because we are going to run you down and put you in jail,' Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey said.

    " 'If you try to mob rule a car in Brevard County, gathering around it, refusing to let the driver leave in our county, you’re most likely going to get run over and dragged across the street.'

    "Protests against the Trump administration's ongoing #ImmigrationCrackdown have been popping up across the nation after they first erupted in Los Angeles on Friday.

    "They are expected to continue through the weekend, in alignment with the president’s birthday parade."

  13. Haha. #BernalilloCounty #Sheriff and #KRQE gives #Albuquerque #Police a couple of epic burns...

    https://www.krqe.com/news/crime/officials-provide-update-on-operation-route-66/

    While #APD is getting ready to bring the #NationalGuard to Central, the Bernalillo County #DistrictAttorney and sheriff have already spent two months cracking down in the same area under a special operation. The district attorney says their operation has already led to around 400 #arrests.
    Sheriff John Allen says that so far, they have no plans to use the guard’s help in their current #Operation #Route66. “We’re going to stay on our lane. I mean, could it happen? Maybe. The national guard, they’re in a PSA role. I didn’t request a national guard, so not to be rude, I don’t need them. I mean, that’s something the Albuquerque Police Department asked for. We’re going to continue the mission and everything that we’ve been doing as the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office, and we’ll continue doing so,” said Allen.
