Perfect Turkeys and Other Amusing Tales

Perfect Turkeys is the second in a series of books, that examines (through short stories) the often hilarious, and always funny life and times of Michael Devin Hughes. Whether searching for the Perfect Turkey for Thanksgiving, or trying to locate the Fig Queen’s House in Brewster Hollow, or reserving a hotel room with a chain hotel, Michael Devin Hughes complicates the most simple of tasks. Though quadruple-divorced, Hughes maintains relations with his ex-wives and children, as the short stories, “Dancing With My Daughter,” “A Walk at Sunset With My Son,” and “Chief of Personal Appearance” reveal. Michael Devin Hughes’ obsessive nature is deliciously illustrated in “Lemon Bars.” His humorous bond with his father is wonderfully amplified in “The Buffet Line.” And Hughes incredibly bad timing is hilariously detailed in “Dinner and Railroad Crossings.”
