Good morning Campers, welcome to the black. Things are still dicey out there in the real world. Lucky for me, I spend a good portion of my day up there in the black traveling about with Atom Ulvan and Margo as they get into and out of more trouble than a kit and her father …
Pub Day came and went in a blur. It proved the first day of a whirlwind of self-imposed chaos as I worked, spent a day with the cousins in the pool, church picnicked, and replaced the A/C condenser on one of the vehicles. I could use a vacation from this bug-induced, post-apocalyptic world we live …
Writing feels like floating in the ocean a few feet beneath the surface. A cluster of bubbles escapes your mouth and you watch as they drift upward to fuse with the glowing plane that distorts reality above you. You hold your breath and drift, keeping your depth with idle kicks of your feet and you …
Some of you, but not all of you, may know that writing is a gift that was passed down from my father. You may have picked that up if you read Genesis and took the time to read the dedication. Well, I know this isn't directly related to the ongoing Atom & Go saga, but …
That's a slight stretch. All we have around here in Corning are big hills, but the mist is there and it's beautiful.

As I've said in a couple recent posts, Three Furies Press has signed on to publish the second book in the Atom & Go saga. With a tentative publication date of early April 2021, I have my work cut out for me. As of today I have just tucked into the last segment of this …
I'm sitting in my office, staring out the window as snow obscures the hill around Corning. Yeah, you heard me, snow... in April... in almost May. That aside, Mer is sitting at the little desk working on her English work. Her book is asking her to write a story about what she would do if …
Why does some literature stand the test of time and some does not? I started reading a book called Code of the Life Maker the other day. After fifty pages, I can honestly say that I'm intrigued, but there are some things about writing style and content that don't seem to pull as much weight …
