He popularized a sugar free candy using honey and pecans two to three years ago, while there is talk of a radio play from WEAP and oblique references to O Henry and Paul Adkins. The piece blends rumors of crime, lost money, and the life of writer William Sydney Porter known as O Henry, including his early life, embezzlement charges, prison years, and eventual pen name origins with long digressions on his misconduct and writing career.
