I am preparing to write stories about Vree Erickson and her friend Lenny Stevens again. Lenny is a character I created 48 years ago, named Liam Burkhart then. Vree soon followed. The above statement makes it seem like I have written for a long time. I have not. I spent most of that time paintingContinue reading Vree’s New Journey [character development]

Help a Guy Out [fiction guest post]
Hi. My name is Lenny Stevens. I’m fifteen years old—although I was sixteen and seventeen a long time ago. But things changed in my life and I became fifteen again. Any fiction writers reading this will understand. Okay, yes, I probably should have mentioned upfront that I’m a fictional character. But that doesn’t make meContinue reading Help a Guy Out [fiction guest post]
Green Crystal, chapter 19 [fiction]
In this last chapter, it’s now June 29, 2013 and Lenny Stevens is on his parent’s front porch, trying to become a better artist by painting Sara Taylor’s portrait; she reminds him of Vree Erickson, though she is seven years younger. Lenny pines to have Vree back; the hope that she could return by magicContinue reading Green Crystal, chapter 19 [fiction]

Green Crystal, chapter 7 [fiction]
In this chapter of Book 3 in The Green Crystal Stories, Lenny Stevens is the POV character. He likes Vree and she likes him. She emerges enough from her possession to speak to him, but she is still a distant character. I said yesterday that “III” is a possession story and poses to Vree theContinue reading Green Crystal, chapter 7 [fiction]
Green Crystal, chapter 3 [fiction]
I’m continuing to add the stories that appeared in my 2014 book, The Green Crystal Stories, in chapter-by-chapter installments.

Green Crystal, chapter 1 [fiction]
I am rewriting the stories that appeared in my 2014 book, The Green Crystal Stories, and published at Amazon for a short while before I shelved it. Why did I shelve it after I spent months designing the cover and editing the writing to what I considered a polish? Because it wasn’t done. By theContinue reading Green Crystal, chapter 1 [fiction]
