Fiction
Click the arrow below to listen to the first episode of this free audio book:
Chuck Mitchell thought he had everything –a high powered job, a beautiful girlfriend, an exclusive condo on the Toronto waterfront, but the death of his long-lost father plunges him in to a world he never knew existed. The world of White Trash Land.
After inheriting a trailer park, Chuck’s normally staid life is suddenly filled with an ex-wrestler lawyer, an obsessed Reverend who covets the land the trailer park sits on, a band of Promised Ones who set out to appropriate the park by any means necessary, a corrupt mayor, an old alcoholic and two pretty lesbians who are not exactly as they seem, and a blue haired punk film student who can create miracle inventions out of trash. Not to mention a motorcycle gang, and the mother of a rap wunderkind.
Stir in a bit of conspiracy, a bit of slapstick and a whole lot of Japanese Actuaries, and you have White Trash Land, written by Andrew Beatty and performed by Sean McGaughey. Find out more at whitetrashland.wordpress.com . This novel contains some adult language, adult situations and cartoon violence, so get over it.

Sean does have a Canadian accent, but as the Canadian accent is pretty flat it would not really be picked up by most Americans. I am glad that people enjoyed the book, and Sean's reading of it. I just signed up for NaNoWriMo, so maybe I will have another one up here soon!By: Alan
One bad review and instantly you start to wallow? Don't let it happen... No, no, no... My ears have never bled listening to this reader. He's done a great job. His podcasts are great too! (Does he have a Canadian accent?)By: Icky
Thanks for White Trash Land. I really enjoyed it. And as for criticism of the narration, I grew to love the extra character that Sean brought to the narrative. Gave it a do-it-yourself punk quality that could not have been more appropriate to the story. You can keep acting for flim-flam like adverts and Hollywood films. White Trash Land sounded like the voices I hear in my head when I read, say, Annie Proulx.
