Homer’s Newest Book is Carrying Albert Home!
CARRYING ALBERT HOME
by Homer Hickam
is the story of a classic love triangle.
Homer (the author’s father) loves Elsie.
Elsie (the author’s mother) loves Albert. Simple.
Except there’s a difference to this ménage à trois, a rather large, scaly one. Albert is, well, an alligator.
This is a story about Elsie and Homer’s epic adventure with the alligator named Albert (and, for no apparent reason, a rooster), where everything is true, except the bits that are made up.
Told with the warmth and down-home charm that made Rocket Boys a beloved bestseller, Homer Hickam’s rollicking novel is truly a testament to that strange and marvelous emotion we call love.

For some folks, Carrying Albert Home may NOT be what they think it is…
Linda is getting a distressingly large number of orders from readers for autographed and inscribed Carrying Albert Home novels which indicate they have misconceptions about the book. “Dear Linda,” they write, “I want to order Carrying Albert Home for little Johnny (or Susie). Please have Homer write something inspirational in it.” That’s a tough order for me to write to […]
Sneak Peek – Introduction to CARRYING ALBERT HOME
It’s always fun to give readers a sneak peek at one of my upcoming novels, especially one I think may be among my very best work.
