Jerry Puffer — Mon, 20 May 2013 18:18:39 +0000

It could well be an apt description of a typical afternoon on the Puffman Show, but in this case, it's how the new novel, "Sunday Girl" is described by The Literary Consultancy They write that this tome from Kalliope Lee that I'll be giving away this afternoon (Monday) at 4:30 on my Puffman Musical Trivia, is a "strange, complex & moving novel that's immensely readable & that authorKalliaope Lee has created a believable, mysterious world with moments of real dram & poignancy."

You're The Boss

Jerry Puffer — Mon, 13 May 2013 14:34:55 +0000

That’s what one of my Mayo Clinic Physicians always tells me…”You’re the boss, Mr. Puffer”.. It sounds great(!), but I’m never quite sure if it’s really true. I DO know that I CAN be “The BOSS” of my food & actually put my food to work for ME, after reading Dr. Gary R. Epler, M.D.’s [...]

What Is Farmacology

Jerry Puffer — Wed, 08 May 2013 16:51:16 +0000

“Farmacology” is NOT the course Conrad area farmer Gary Gollehon majored in back in college!

Publisher's Weekly says "This gripping account is proof that truth can be stranger--& far more disturbing--than fiction" & I agree.
