Figured out the three JBZ words, and it all fell into place.
To: nikos1121
3 min. First word is obvious; should've looked at 3rd word after the comma next (double letter at end). Also, the first word gives away three words which share letters with it.
Then get the word after the comma (only one or two possibilties, grammatically), and it falls into your hand.

I thought I might know who the author was from the 4-5 pattern, and it turned out to be a correct guess.
The author had Joel Chandler Harris as a dinner guest at his house, and the other guests were the kind of people he describes in this puzzle. They eagerly awaited Harris's arrival, but when he arrived they showed their disappointment by exclaiming of "He's white!"

Around 3 minutes; letter frequency is the key, first, ninth, twelfth, fifteenth words. Peace to all

Nice one. Just play with the short words until it all comes together.
