Recalling Louie and Bruce, Part 8

It’s March 1982 and winter is going full blast with no end in sight for the boys and me. Bowling season ended last month, so the boys hang out at the gym and shoot hoops.

It’s around 26,000 words long, making it a novella-length book, and it will be published in paperback and ebook formats on Amazon.

As I promised last year, I’m bringing back my books page to the Steve Campbell Creations website but giving each book its own page. Right now, I have only one book on the market, and that’s Night of the Hell Hounds and Other Stories from the Ridgewood Chronicles. Other books are coming and will have … Continue reading Books Page

So sorry for your loss. Losing a beloved pet or family member is so hard. Thoughts and prayers to you.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Tuffy. My condolences to you and your family.

Good luck at the art show. Very interesting seeing the development in the artwork.

That's the best attitude to have. We never know when the book gods may favor us. :)

Thanks for that, Joseph. I'm hoping to get some new readers with the promotion. But if I don't, it won't…

Happy Valentine's day and best of luck with your book promotion.

Healing implies an end, but writing Hadestown was more like learning to walk with a limp. You don’t fix the damage, you…

Thanks, purplegoatee, glad you're enjoying this.

I make comments as I read. Lines I particularly like. For example, "Mark would’ve called that “too on the nose,”…
