Below you will find just a sampling of the colorful characters you will meet in my little story. Most of them are regulars at the Hoot N' Holler Cafe, congregating there daily to share stories, swap gossip and just shoot the breeze.
WANDA WIGHAM: a feisty 61 year old widow. Her husband died a year ago after having a heart attack and subsequently choking on his mouthfull of Yum Yum Chicken (he always did stuff his mouth!). Wanda inherited the diner after he died and has been running it real smooth ever since.
ALICE HAMILTON: Alice is the official Advice Queen of Brushy Creek. She doles out advice daily through her column "Ask Alice" at the Brushy Creek Bugle. Typing out her answers on an old fashioned typewriter. Sometimes she gets a little over zealous with helping people and her answers are sometimes wacky but she tries!
STARLA GRANT: works as a waitress at the Hoot N' Holler. 40 years old. Feeling over the hill and royally irked by her husband, Buck, who spends most of his day in front of the boob tube swilling bargain brand beer and burping.
DARLA GRANT: 17 years old, Starla and Buck's daughter. She cannot stand Brushy Creek and dreams of getting out.She's not going to be like her older sister who dropped out of high school to have a baby four years ago.
MARILYN WHITE: a/k/a Miss Gossip, Miss BusyBody. Marilyn is a 75 year old widow who has a bad habit of sticking her nose in everyone's business. Not above evesdropping on conversations she offers up her opinions on the various citizens to anyone who will listen. Most don't. Marilyn is the town librarian.
PETER STARK: a charming, dashing newcomer to Brushy Creek. Not much is known about him and alot of people don't trust him (because he's an outsider)but the ladies love him. Only seen at night inspiring the younger generation of Brushy Creek to dub him Count Starkula.
BUDDY WIGHAM: a hoity-toity member of the Brushy Creek "upper crust". Wanda's brother in law. His current mission in life is to snatch the Hoot N' Holler Cafe from Wanda. Has a wife named Miranda. An 18 year old son named Buddy Jr. (JR) and a 17 year old daughter named Marcy (Queen Bee of Brushy Creek High)
