My roller coaster path to hell and this week's top Turner Report/Inside Joplin posts

The top 10 Turner Report posts this week have a slightly different look. Five of the top 10 involve, at least in part, me writing about personal topics.

The most unusual one, coming in at number three, was originally posted six months ago in which I wrote about making an insulting response to a reader and not having any regrets about it.

Some people who do not like me or the Turner Report (as hard as it is to believe, those people exist) began sharing the post this week in an effort to show people how despicable I truly am.

Apparently, I am full of hate and I am headed on a roller coaster path to hell.

Thankfully, I have their readership while I am taking the trip.








My guess is it didn't change too many people's views, but I still appreciate the added readership.

Coming in at number 10 is a holdover form last week. People seem to enjoy when I admit I am wrong. Fortunately, I don't have a problem doing that and have done that on those occasions when I have made mistakes.

Other personal topics included my revisiting my heart attack from three years ago and a bad review for my novel No Child Left Alive.

Thanks to the organizers of the annual Crowder College Authors Fair. I had an enjoyable time today, had the opportunity to talk with many people and also did readings from Lost Angels and Newton County Memories.

And thanks to Nancy Hughes for taking the photo that accompanies this post.
