TRIPPED is the third book by Jon D. Marsh, following BANDIT in the early seventies, and more recently FORTY SEVEN MINUTES. Marsh has worn many hats. He was an Air Force Sergeant, a fast food worker, a student, a teacher, a plumber, a carpenter, a photo journalist, a real estate agent, a building codes special inspector, a Kentucky Colonel and a staunch resistor to idleness. He fills his time now as woodsmith/wordsmith in Southwest Georgia with his wife Lissa and his mentor, Miss Sadie Haversham, an overweight and impatient Maine Coon Cat.
