Father of the Bride





SLIGHTLY OFF THE

MARK





 





          My daughter got married this month.





          I know what you’re thinking: “But

Mark, you’re not old enough!” Darn tootin’. The scandalous truth is, I’m only

five years older than my daughter. Yep. Scientists are mystified.





          The other scandalous truth is that my

main concern wasn’t the event, or pining…

fire history book done; on to Storm Damage

My final polish of "Smoky Days and Sleepless Nights: A Century or so With the Albon Fire Department" is DONE. So, it's finished, right? Nah. It still needs to be line edited – by someone who hasn't gone over the manuscript fifty times like I have -- and I still face sorting through piles of photos to find the right ones to go into it.…

Honk if You're Blowing Your Own Horn

 

SLIGHTLY OFF THE

MARK









            I’ve been working on a press release

for my second book signing, and it made me think about wind instruments.

 

            You see, I was brought up to think

bragging is bad, and modesty is good. Not false modesty: The real kind, where

you don’t blow your own horn and you’re embarrassed when someone else does.

It’s not a concept understood in Washington or…

Storm Chaser short story giveaway and book signing, Dec 3rd.

great interest to anyone who doesn’t live in northeast Indiana … although I’ll

give a copy of the
Storm Chaser short

Summer Leads to Falls

SLIGHTLY OFF THE MARK

 

            Author’s note: I wrote this column in late summer, and kept it as filler in case, for some reason, something happened to keep me from writing a new one. Now, in early November, my fiancée is getting over the flu and I’m coming down with it … once you’ve read this, you’ll get the irony.

 

            Frankly, at this point I’m afraid to move.

            This summer was, in my family, a variant…

Into the fire

I've been promising this new story for awhile: a bridge between Storm

Chaser and its sequel, which has the working title of Storm Damage,

this tale introduces us to a new character who'll have a major role in the new

book. Believe me, Ian Grant quite literally doesn't know what he's getting into

...




Warning! Spoilers for some general details about the end of

Storm Chaser. If you haven't read (or finished) the novel yet, you might… Continue
