Though the sun shinned bright, and the day was crisp and clear. None of the people gathered in the tight confines of the wagon could shake the ominous feeling the closer they got to the Kin-Marrow Mountains.
Even with a two night stay in a small inn. Eating well and sleeping on a feathered mattress, did not help their wounds heal any faster. Bruises, cuts and swollen joints, were constant reminders Read more of this blog post »

Thanks for accepting my friend request, Shawn. You seem like an interesting person, as well as an accomplished author, so feel free to tell me more about yourself and perhaps we can grow to become even greater friends. I, myself, am a singer/songwriter/actor who has recently turned author. My 2 top ten recordings were CONCRETE & CLAY (as a singer) and NAVY BLUE (as a writer)...both in the early 1960's. My first novel is an unusual murder mystery entitled: FORBIDDEN STEPS.

Regards, and have a great day, Ed
