Deputy Joe's Utah Dialect: hear it

Fun stuff, In Their Voice, My Books, Research, Uncategorized No Responses »

May 072013

One of the things I often read in reviews of The Deputy Joe series is that “nobody talks like that,” referring to Joe’s dialect in the story.

Well, meet Waldo Wilcox, rancher …he’s first at about the 2min marker. He’s from the Green River area which is about as isolated as where Joe lives although being more east and north. Panguitch is located more towards the southern end of the state and almost dead center east to west. You can see Green River on the map here and then look for Bryce Canyon down and left.

Should you be as big of a geek as I am, you can go to American English Dialects which is attempting to record, find news recordings on places like YouTube, and map the various dialect variation in the United States.

We’re off to Vegas this weekend.

SG has a Bowling Tournament…yeah, you can take the trash out of the trailer but you can’t take the trailer out of the trash (snort). Hey, it’s the social thing for him. Friday we drive up, probably do sushi Fri. night and call it early. SG bowls at noon on Sat. and we come home on Sun. If I’d had enough notice, I’d have arranged a book signing…oh well.

Sat. night were going to see John Pinette. I’ll post photos when I get back.

Although he didn’t die, but the idiot who was drinking with him did…

Both soldiers, joined by a third man, were drinking alcohol and watching football at the time of the Sunday night incident, authorities said.

Yeah, so Einstein whips out a pistol to “scare” the hiccups out of his friend and shoots him in the face, you know, because he’s drunk as a skunk. Killed him. But at least he cured the guy’s hiccups. @.@

Today excepts from my video interview are live at PopularRomanceProject.org. It was shot at Authors After Dark in Philadelphia last August. You can find it in the INTERVIEWS section of the site (http://popularromanceproject.org/category/interviews/). At the website, you can comment and share ideas about what what I have to say (God help me) then stick around to explore the rest of the site while you are there: there are videos and stories about the making of the film in the BEHIND THE SCENES section of the site, interview excerpts in INTERVIEWS, and short interesting blogs from scholars, romance authors and bloggers in TALKING ABOUT ROMANCE.

You can’t make shit up this good:

Sao Paolo, Brazil CNN — Brazilian police have arrested three people suspected of killing at least two women, eating parts of their bodies and using their remains to make stuffed meat pies sold in the northeastern town of Garanhuns.

via Brazilian police arrest 3 on suspicion of murder, cannibalism – CNN.com.

If I tried to put that in a book, nobody would buy the premise.
