New WIP Installment 4 [fiction]

October 31, 2020November 7, 2020 Steve Campbell2 Comments

In this final installment, Abigail and Quinn butt heads, and then Abigail goes to the hospital’s breakroom to cool off. It is still Monday and four days before Halloween. I have a feeling that the holiday is going to pair up Vree and Abigail before the novel ends. Have a happy and safe Halloween everyone.Continue reading New WIP Installment 4 [fiction] →

New WIP Installment 3 [fiction]

October 30, 2020November 7, 2020 Steve Campbell4 Comments

We leave Vree in this installment and learn more about one of her nurses, Abigail Gentry. I based her looks on the illustration below. The hair in the illustration is curlier than how I described Abigail’s. I may need to add a new description when I sit down for my final draft. Oh well. Anyway,Continue reading New WIP Installment 3 [fiction] →

New WIP Installment 2 [fiction]

October 29, 2020November 7, 2020 Steve CampbellLeave a comment

Here’s more of the novel I have worked on for the past four years. It features 15-year-old Vree Erikson who wakes up in the hospital after lightning struck her and her neighbor Owen Avery. It is Monday and four days before Halloween when Vree awakens. Enjoy. And again, please don’t shy from leaving comments. 2Continue reading New WIP Installment 2 [fiction] →

New WIP Installment 1 [fiction]

October 28, 2020November 7, 2020 Steve CampbellLeave a comment

This is just a taste of the novel I have worked on for the past four years. I’m not a speedy writer since I only have a few hours each day to write. Okay, a fewer more since my surgery and sick leave from work. The intro of my novel is lengthy, so I’m puttingContinue reading New WIP Installment 1 [fiction] →

A Story In Two Styles, part 2 [fiction]

March 21, 2020November 7, 2020 Steve CampbellLeave a comment

The majority of the people I write about have normal lives, oblivious to the magical all around them, hidden in plain sight. Dave Evans is one of them. He is part of my small-town urban fantasy world. I believe the urban fantasy story does not have to be rooted in the city. Urban fantasy canContinue reading A Story In Two Styles, part 2 [fiction] →

A Story In Two Styles, part 1 [fiction]

March 20, 2020November 7, 2020 Steve CampbellLeave a comment

I love writing stories. I began when I was around eight or nine years old and I have not stopped. I wrote the first draft of the following short story during 1972/73. It is an untypical baseball story featuring Dave Evans. When I wrote later drafts, I ended up with two that I liked. TheContinue reading A Story In Two Styles, part 1 [fiction] →

Introducing Owen [character development]

February 21, 2020November 25, 2020 Steve Campbell2 Comments

I think all young writers began telling their stories in first-person point of view. I did, fifty years ago. I wrote many of my stories at school, but I did it at a different level than my classmates by making myself a character in my stories. A few teachers suggested I replace “me, Steve Campbell,Continue reading Introducing Owen [character development] →

A Fantasy Trip [fiction]

June 22, 2019November 7, 2020 Steve CampbellLeave a comment

Hello, my loyal followers. It’s story time. A fantasy tale about a teenage boy and magic. The trip home to Myers Ridge was longer than Danny Sutton remembered. He sat in the backseat of his father’s Taurus, a bit motion sick, and surrounded by brand-new fantasy novels and superhero comics. His parents, George and Michelle,Continue reading A Fantasy Trip [fiction] →

Even More of the New Novel [fiction]

May 3, 2019November 7, 2020 Steve Campbell2 Comments

As promised. This is the last bit of writing I will post from the new novel. Thank you, everyone, for the likes. Chapter 3? More Blood: Vree shut the book with a bang. A floorboard squeaked at the doorway and her mom entered the room. “I hope you like what your dad and I didContinue reading Even More of the New Novel [fiction] →

Still More of the New Novel [fiction]

May 2, 2019November 7, 2020 Steve Campbell2 Comments

As promised, I am continuing to release a few chapters of my work-in-progress novel about Vree Erickson. Chapter 2? Lenny: A twisting ribbon of blacktop took them to a long, stone paved driveway that led to a light blue, two-story Colonial home, trimmed in eggshell white. Karrie parked inside the two-car garage attached to theContinue reading Still More of the New Novel [fiction] →

May 2019 is here. My novel about Vree Erickson is growing and taking on a life of its own. Meanwhile, to everyone who follows my blog, I am continuing to release a few chapters of the new book’s beginning over the next few days. More of Chapter 1? The ride home: Vree and her momContinue reading More of the New Novel [fiction] →

Changes and the New Novel [fiction]

April 30, 2019November 7, 2020 Steve Campbell2 Comments

April 2019 is ending. I wish I could say the same about my novel. I continue to move forward with it, painstakingly slow. The novel is about Vree Erickson and is a reworking of Night of the Hellhounds/Margga’s Curse novel, which I published as an ebook in 2013 under its first title, and 2014 underContinue reading Changes and the New Novel [fiction] →
