The Illustration of Tommy T. & Other Short Stories

“These stand-alone stories will both amuse and amaze,” says literary maven Hollis George.

When he’s not making music, Blues Hall of Famer Jersey Slim (A/K/A George Cook) writes world-class short stories, songs, and poetry. This imaginative collection of 8 short stories take you inside a very special world where you’ll follow Tommy T. as he seeks to cover his body in tattoos, meet partakers of an elixir known as D-5, watch some cons pull off the Murphy, and share a cell with Butch and Tommy.

G. J. Cook lives in Key West, Florida. He is originally from Newark, New Jersey. Besides writing short stories, he also writes songs, poetry, and is a blues musician. He was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2012. At one time he also hand-designed personal greeting cards. He is now semi-retired, occasionally performing blues at venues in the Florida Keys. He has four adult children.
