Growth without resolution

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.

Vanishing bookshelf

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.

Not that mine is going anywhere fast.

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
