Growth without resolution

by

Sequels are often misunderstood …

In part because they’re perceive derivative dependence on the original work.

And partly because – in the case of a trilogy:

They do not conclude the full story arch.

Not to worry: That’s what makes Boulder Ridge stand really stand out.

Is its odyssey of growth …

And sets the stage for the third (and final) book to come.

It’s a new dawn with Candidate Burt Silver, but only because he stayed up all night to see it

Vanishing bookshelf

by

Folks, is it just me – or is the bookshelf a vanishing institution?

Remember the good old days when your bookshelf, not a dang computer, was your primary connection to the larger world.

I’m not saying that everything changes for the worse.

But there is a big side of me that laments the demise of the bookshelf.

Not that mine is going anywhere fast.

Try not to overthink a song. Go with what pops in your head, run with it, and don’t stop until you cross the finish line.

Well howdy folks, and I’m completely freaked out. And you know why. The fringe middle. The silent majority. Why are they so quiet?

Slow burn

by

The creation of Campfire Park …

Was a slow burn.

You could probably trace its roots back to 2014.

That’s when the two co-authors decided to collaborate on a campfire talk.

But it wasn’t until 6 years and three books later that it was finally spawned.

Sometimes good ideas take a long time to form

I don’t know much, but I’m inclined to spill whatever I do out at the campfire

Inspirational campfire
The campfire that inspired The Movement

by

There’s the original campfire …

And then there’s Campfire Park.

The original campfire is where the campfire talk was conceived.

A couple of campfires later, that led to the idea of writing a book

Three books later (and 6 years to be exact), that led to an impass:

How do we promote the trilogy of books?

The answer:

Campfire Park.

And so a website was born.

As for the original books, at this point they almost seem like an afterthought.

Remember the Rule of the Ninja: Never fear, never doubt, and never over think.

The campfire is always crackling and visitors are always welcome at Campfire Park
