Benny Bumster
Well, hey there. Name’s Benny Bumster. I been sittin’ on the same patch of Florida dirt for more years than I can count, rockin’ on a porch chair that squeaks louder than the cicadas in August. Trailer park life’s been my world from the get-go — neighbors hollerin’, dogs barkin’, and more stories floatin’ around than you could fit in a Sunday paper.
Thing is, I’ve always been an avid reader. Mystery, romance, the funnies — you name it, I’ve probably dog-eared a copy. One day I thought, “Shoot, Benny, you’ve heard enough tall tales in this park to fill a book. Why not give it a whirl?” So here I am, puttin’ pen to paper, tryin’ my hand at spinnin’ yarns that’ll make you laugh, scratch your head, and maybe stay up a little later than you meant to.
Now, I ain’t no fancy big-city writer. Just an old Florida fella with a stubborn dachshund, a stack of library cards, and a porch view worth a thousand words.
But if my stories give you a smile, or make you forget the heat for a while, then I figure I’ve done my job.
Stand Alone
Welcome to Sunset Palms Trailer Park—where the air is thick with gossip, the cornbread is always suspect, and murder has a habit of crashing the potluck. Benny Bumster writes laugh-out-loud cozy mysteries filled with sass, scandal, and just enough romance to keep things steamy under the Florida sun. Each standalone book features sharp-tongued heroines, love interests with questionable alibis, and porch crews who always know more than they let on. Think small-town charm meets trailer-park chaos—with a side of sweet tea and dead bodies.
Whether it’s karaoke night gone deadly, a chili cook-off with poison in the pot, or a bake sale with bite, Benny’s stories serve up the perfect mix of mystery, mayhem, and moon pies. You don’t need to read them in order—just bring your sense of humor, a soft spot for slow-burn romance, and a healthy distrust of casserole. Sunset Palms might not be fancy, but the secrets run deep, and the characters will steal your heart (right after they hide the evidence).
