Change of Plans
We’re at the end of September and I see I’m falling short of republishing my Green Crystal series of books. As I mentioned in January, I planned to release the six books one by one this year.

Many years ago I wrote a story for a high school English class. My teacher helped me to understand story structure the best she could, but it was enough to create an aha moment that aroused my interest in writing more stories.

Book Two
Ten years ago this month, I wrote I am testing the waters of self-publishing at Amazon right now so my family and friends can read my stories on their Kindle e-readers.

It began in the 1980s and grew only so far and stopped, so I left it … Continue reading Two Short Stories 004- and 005-2022-1030
Fantasy Short Story 003-2022-1004
Halloween grows closer and I’m in a ghost story mood. This short story about young Vree Erickson and a ghost appeared earlier this year in my post of June 6. Vree Erickson’s pleasant expression changed to surprise, then to shock mixed with fright. The air in the dugout became thin and dry, as though an … Continue reading Fantasy Short Story 003-2022-1004
