Not many graduates of Hammon High School have ever written and published a  book. The Class of '59 can boast that an author of a novel has risen from among them. Hugh "Bud" Wynn has written a gripping and exciting  murder mystery novel. The title of the novel is, "Laundry List." Here are some reviews from Barnes & Noble.Com

Book Description

Laundry List is a tale of suspense and greed with a romantic twist. Mired in a steamy, mosquito-infested thicket north of sprawling Houston, a bemused Jimmy Beard gaped at the contents of a weathered metal box resting in the shadows of the sentinel pine...row upon row of tightly bound packets, neatly stacked in orderly layers. Should he report this trove to the authorities? He was already rich. Additional wealth offered little allure. But its challenges intrigued him. He could hide the illicit treasure...then launder it to blunt the numbing repetition of his life.

In Mexico's Nuevo Laredo, the brutal drug kingpin, Jose Luis Guerra, rallied his dark forces. Only imprudent men stole from Luis Guerra. Like hungry jackals, his vengeful minions filtered into Houston's dark crevices stalking their prey.

In Scottsdale, Abbie Hart fashioned a trendy frame to showcase a western art masterpiece. Random memories stirred recollections of past loves... scandalous ex-husband, Russel Hart...reliable buddy, Jimmy Beard. Affairs of the heart rooted in Houston's chaotic early 1980s. A stirring deep in her belly exposed powerful lingering emotions. Russel had brought excitement...and sadness, into her life. Jimmy had been trustworthy, but married. Ancient sorrows...ancient joys.

Have I have read Laundry List?  Of course!  I read it twice.  I'm a wannabe author and love to read a novel to watch the plot unfold.  Bud has an incredible skill to weave an interesting plot.  The plot in Laundry List is exciting, complex, and  gripping.   Of course, novels must have interesting characters and Bud does an incredible job of building believable characters.

Hammon can be proud of Bud Wynn. Shucks, even Carpenter has something to crow about.  Eat your heart out Herring, Strong City, McClure, Pie Flat, and Moorewood. You've never had an author of a novel come from your midst. Order the novel and read it!  You'll not be disappointed.
