Sell Anything On Craigslist!
JEREMY TUCKER THOUGHT he lived in the most boring town in the world. This town held its residents in the palm of its hand, and it knew everything about everyone that lived there—the good, the bad, every sin, every secret. This quiet little town was about to change, and all because he put an ad on craigslist. Some would say he was a genius, while others would accuse him of being the Devil himself. Read his story and you decide.

Excerpt:
I used to think our little town, tucked away in the mountains of West Virginia and buried in the backwoods, was the most boring spot on the planet. This was the place where nothing exciting happened and nothing was ever going to change. The place felt like it was a movie set from the 1950s. Each morning, as the sun began to peek over the ridge of the valley, you would hear the old milk truck shuddering down the back alley as he made his delivery just like it had been done for over 75 years. People liked tradition, and change was not easily welcomed.
As the sun would reach the crest of the ridge, people would be up and about, which was irritating for the teens in our town. My Grandma Tucker always said, ‘Be thankful for another day, you never know when it might be your last, so don’t miss a second of it, which was usually followed with, Get your butt out of bed!’ People were early risers, and by the time I was out of the house the old women would be sitting on their front porches, slowly rocking with a steaming cup of coffee clutched in their hands, watching everything that happened.
Our little town was great for kids because we were allowed to run wild. No one worried about someone snatching a child like they did in the big cities. In our little town, everyone knew each other and kept an eye out. While we were allowed our freedom, there was a price. If you did anything wrong, it beat you home, and there was a butt-whupping waiting for you. My granny was an expert with a hickory switch...
Our little town had a rhythm. Mondays were back to work or school; Tuesday was laundry day; Wednesday evening was church; Thursday was for doing the grocery shopping at the Shop ’N Save, the only grocery store in town; Friday was for football; Saturday you did your chores; and Sunday was for church and family.
This little town held us in the palm of its hand, and it knew everything about us; the good, the bad, every sin, every secret, and everything was known about each and every resident. Most people were from here. You could trace family trees back many generations to the Founders. Only a few ever left, and if they did, you never saw them again. My secret desire was to be one of the few. I wanted to be a writer, and to do that I needed to experience life outside our little town.
Our quiet little town was about to change, and all because I put an ad on Craigslist.
While normal folk cut their grass, or made out at the overpass, my imagination was taking flight. Some would say I was a genius, while others would accuse me of being the Devil himself. What they all agreed upon was that I was justified in what I’d done.

Stupid Boy Series
FOR UPDATES ON THE series, follow the link below.
Stupid Boy is a series of books about a small Midwestern town filled with cute girls, Friday-night football games, and life lessons that stir up some major drama and fun.
To everyone who knows him, David Dawson is your stereotypical nerd, the good kid who has a great family life and good friends. A cute girl, way out of his league—according to his friends—leads him astray. His sudden shift to hanging out with the wrong crowd sends him spiraling into teenage depression and upsets his best friends. It all comes to a sudden end when a girl at a party he throws almost dies.
It is his crucible. Crucible is a great word. It means to go through a severe test. For David, it means he must take responsibility for his actions. He is sent to his uncle’s farm for the summer to get his life back on track. What he doesn’t know is his uncle John has a degree in child psychology. With a combination of hard work and long talks, he begins to pull his life back together.
When he returns from his exile, he’s changed. He is no longer the slightly pudgy-looking nerd due to a growth spurt and hard work on the farm. His best friend, Tami Glade, isn’t quite sure what to make of her ‘stupid boy.’ Before he was sent to the farm, she’d screamed at him out of frustration that she never wanted to see him again.
David has changed. He is suddenly popular, way too handsome for his own good, and going out for football. The changes aren’t just physical. He seems more confident and focused. He even has Life Goals. Tami isn’t quite sure what to make of the new David. Her ‘stupid boy’ of a best friend has been transformed into a hunk. The problem is, he doesn’t realize it, and she isn’t sure if they should be just friends, or more.

About the Author
Greg Younger was born in Urbana, Illinois, on the day after Christmas in August of 1961. He was educated at the sports oriented Mahomet-Seymour High School, where he spent much of his time playing football (where he won a State Championship), hunting/fishing, and reading every science fiction or fantasy book in the town’s library. He went on to Illinois State University to study Accounting. The football stopped, but he found a new passion, he started a fraternity. Greg enjoyed college life to the point that when he graduated he had degrees in Finance, Marketing, Management with minors in Economics and Accounting.
Greg then moved to Chicago, lived in a high rise in the Gold Coast with two men who drank too much, and found work at a bank as a computer programmer. Over the next 25 years he advanced through the ranks and became known for solving problems via the use of technology. He ventured out on his own and opened a consulting company that developed technology driven solutions for Fortune 500 companies and financial institutions.
In 2005, he gave it all up to move to an area in Florida called the Nature Coast. This harkened to his days of growing up in a small Midwestern community. Not able to just sit around he decided to try something completely different, real estate. He eventually opened his own company.
