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 Embarking On Vree’s New Journey
Vree’s Journal Entry 4
Lenny Burkhart: Lenny Burkhart is my next-door neighbor and best friend. He’s handsome, with dreamy dark brown eyes and hair. He stands around 5’ 7” tall and says he weighs 130 pounds. He is 15, born July 5. He believes in the supernatural and has shelves of books about it. He has never seen aContinue reading Vree’s Journal Entry 4
Help a Guy Out
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
Green Crystal, chapter 19
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.

Green Crystal, chapter 7
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
Green Crystal, chapter 3
I’m continuing to add the stories that appeared in my 2014 book, The Green Crystal Stories, in chapter-by-chapter installments. Today’s chapter is the final one from the 2013 short story, “Night of the Hellhounds.” This was the first book of five in The Green Crystal Stories and had nothing to do with the title, whichContinue reading Green Crystal, chapter 3
