Welcome to Pulpwood Annie's website

(and you won't get charged $2 to visit, either!)

Max Courson has penned what is essentially a group of tied-together short stories about a prostitute in Georgia via a "smart aleck college guy," as Max calls him. In fact, several chapters won various writing awards.   And this grouping has become the engaging and funny THE PULPWOOD ANNIE CHRONICLES. The reader gets to learn all of Annie's "goings-on" and finds out why our college friend keeps buying her beer.

This book is a smile-maker, even in its ability to be risque--it is sexy and anti-sexy at the same time. The vignettes are tasty and Courson knows his way around a turn of phrase....

ANNIE is a keeper--or a book you will pass on to friends glowingly. The only reason I imagine this book wasn't published by one of the big houses was that they couldn't figure out what shelf to put it on. And that's a shame.

This book is a good read for college students.  It’s easy to relate to the “smart-aleck college guy.”  Most young adults tend to wise off to authority at some point….  The book flows well, and it’s a quick and easy read.  For a busy college student, it’s nice to relax after a long day and read something that’s humorous, yet contains some deep notions about society.

"Indeed it was quite a bipolar experience to read the discourses between Annie and the smart-alecky college guy.  The author demonstrates (that) a sophisticated vocabulary can indeed be applied to the most carnal pleasures.  Funny and graphical, this book has a great ending.  This is Max’s first fiction.
