Lucy Lennox and May Archer originally started writing "Turkeys" as a bonus short to the Licking Thicket series. Apparently, in true fashion, Hunter (a Jackson) and Charlton (a Nutter) wouldn't let them go without a fuller story. This story is available as an ebook on their website until the end of the month, when it will be released on Amazon.
["Hunter Jackson’s Sage Advice for a Happy Thanksgiving
When your turkey-thieving, town-abandoning, former childhood friend reappears in Licking Thicket after fifteen long years, looking like a snack and smelling like all your favorite treats put together, it might be tempting to, well, dig in.
Don’t.
And when your plan to teach the man a lesson goes spectacularly awry, becoming less of a wattle-wearing walk of shame around the Thicket’s Thanksgiving festival and more of a sexy turkey-twerk in a skin-tight bird costume featuring the hottest pair of drumsticks the town’s ever seen, you might think it’s time to get over your feud and, well, take a bite.
Resist.
But when Charlton Nutter finally shows you the sweet, pure heart he’s hiding under all his fine, big-city feathers, and you realize, thanks to the town’s meddling matchmakers, that the man is hungry for the kind of love and belonging that only the Thicket can provide, you might decide that both of you have been acting like a pair of turkeys, and in that case you should…
Gobble. Him. Up."]
Ahhhh, I missed Licking Thicket and their nosy/neby neighbors and their oddly endearing traditions and their dirty-but-not-dirty titles/labels. All of which comes with a utter lack of filter, good intentions, and happily ever afters.
And did Hunter and Charlie get their happily ever after! Oh, boy, did they. ;)
["Which is why it's pretty ironic that calling someone a turkey is the opposite of warm and fuzzy. A turkey is an exceptionally foolish individual who makes really questionable choices...//And we're not saying that describes Hunter and Charlie at the beginning of this story, but we're not not saying it, either."]
