Collected Works: The Misadventures of Johnny Driver, Season 2

The Misadventures of Johnny Driver is a continuing series based on the real life experiences of my summer job as a flower delivery person in the Hamptons. What started out as an insignificant part time job for extra money turned out to provide me with some pretty outrageous moments and interesting encounters that I thought would make for interesting reading. I published memoirs of the first season (check out Collect Works: The Misadventures of Johnny Driver Season 1) beginning in 2009 and it was well received by readers.

Working as a delivery guy for Wellington's Flower Shop in Southampton is not easy, but the people I get to interact with every day give me plenty of fodder for the series. Johnny's second season working at Wellington's was much different than the first, primarily because his good friend Kona had been released from the shop and her replacement, Misty Langdon, changed the whole atmosphere in the shop, much to Johnny's detriment.

The second season's episodes were published more sporadically than the first, and so readership has dropped somewhat from the first season. So here's a chance to see all of the second season episodes of the Misadventures of Johnny Driver, Season 2 all in one place. In case you haven't seen them all, check out what you've missed:
