Joseph Flynn contributed to Naked Came the Farmer (1998), a collaborative novel.
Naked Came the Farmer is a round-robin novel where multiple authors each wrote a chapter, building on what the previous writer established. The book is set in rural Illinois and plays the mystery-thriller genre for both laughs and suspense. The collaborative format means each chapter takes unexpected turns as different writers steer the plot.
Flynn’s chapter sits alongside contributions from other Illinois-based authors. The project was organized as a literary event, and the resulting book has a looser, more playful feel than Flynn’s solo thrillers. It remains a curiosity in his bibliography, separate from the Jim McGill and John Tall Wolf series that make up the bulk of his work.
