The novel is available in print, priced at $14.99, as    well as in Kindle format, priced at $2.99. Swedish-born Daniel    Hammarberg, who has written non-fiction books in the past,    regularly covers news for online magazines and writes debate    articles about political and social issues. But this last year    he's taken a break from his usual work to instead write this    groundbreaking fiction novel. Though at first it was nothing    more than a passing mental image of a family living in a    trailer, this image has over time blossomed into a vivid novel    spanning some 130,000 words, with the author having done    meticulous research into city life in the area in the process.    The story is not one of conventional people living everyday    lives, however. As the author introduces the book in the first    chapter:  <\/p>\n<p>     \"What you'll read here is the story of    Billy Bob    and his family. His is not an ordinary family, the kind that    gets up in the morning to go to work or school. The kind that    pays their taxes and who lead respectable lives. No, no - his    is the kind of people who do whatever the hell they want at    whatever the hell the time they want. And if anyone has a    problem with that, there just might be a 2x4 beating in store    for him or her in the very near future.\"  <\/p>\n<p>    This sets the tone for a novel that reeks with in-your-face    attitude and content that's simply not possible to quote in a    public press release. But to mention some of them, family    anecdotes retold in the book include the following:  <\/p>\n<p>    When interviewed about what audience he    had in mind for the book, author Hammarberg had this to say: This is    no dorky teenage-girl-dreams-of-vampires story a la Stephenie    Meyer. Rather, this is black comedy that strikes at the heart    of politically correct dogma, and any reader is sure to feel    he's been taken on a roller coaster ride after having finished    this one-of-a-kind book. Compared to the run-of-the-mill    literature, this is like a compilation of UFC knockouts,    holding nothing back and leaving no one disappointed.  <\/p>\n<p>    Already, An Alabama Story has started finding its audience.    The novel made me laugh pretty hard, one Sergeant Chris out    of Texas commented after reading it. And an Oklahoma City    resident who prefers to remain anonymous had this to say: Ok    if someone makes fun of Sharpton and Jesse Jackson... But Rosa    Parks?? I had never read something so shocking! Yet I kept on    reading it until the end.\"  <\/p>\n<p>    For more information about An Alabama Story, see the    website, the introduction excerpt at    Amazon, the Facebook group or follow the    Twitter account.  <\/p>\n<p>    Daniel Hammarberg  <\/p>\n<p>    (+46) 762-730970    Email Information  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Read this article:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/edgy-provocative-young-adult-novel-arrives-time-christmas-173634218.html;_ylt=A2KJjankE8pQJ3QAgbv_wgt.\" title=\"New Edgy and Provocative Young Adult Novel Arrives in Time for Christmas: An Alabama Story by Daniel Hammarberg\">New Edgy and Provocative Young Adult Novel Arrives in Time for Christmas: An Alabama Story by Daniel Hammarberg<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> An Alabama Story just might be the most politically incorrect fiction novel to date, a no-holds-barred exploration of the life of a non-conformist family of five living in Birmingham, Alabama.
