Camp Activities Specialist Bulletin #3

Star Date: March 30, 2019

Greetings Readers! Wow this month has flown by! It started with Robert being at a writer’s conference in Las Vegas. He’s going talk more about that, but I must say how proud I am of his accomplishments there. His stories were well received, and he gained so much insight as to what editors look for before they buy a story for professional publication. He returned from the Vegas experience with a lot of new insights and a horrible upper respiratory virus that lingered long.

Meanwhile, I was holding down the fort with Olivia. She is growing and changing fast; she needs A LOT of exercise and we spent many hours walking in the forests while Robert was at the conference. I discovered that working (even part time), puppy care, and house-holding can be pretty overwhelming without Robert around. I fell to a virus just as he was getting better. We’re both better now, but we’re a little behind in keeping up Camp Activities! Here’s the update:

  1. The first Campfire Tale, “The Pearce Shoot Out” is getting great feedback with potential publishers, so it’s taking a little longer than we thought to get it into print. We’re hoping for news soon about this story. Please stand by.
  2. The second Campfire Tale, “The Mystery at Molas Pass,” is now written! The protagonist is a superhero man whose power is that he can become a very strong little boy. This Tale is set in the Neutrinoman and Lightningirl universe; an action/adventure with a mysterious twist. And yes, the word, “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” was used in this story!
  3. We’ve collected some great campfire cues for the genre mash up (third) Campfire Tale. We are extending the survey to collect a few more cues before Robert will begin to write this one. The Survey Monkeywill be open until April 9th.
  4. If you have not done so yet, please visit Robert’s new Author Page!

As always, if you have a question or comment, please leave it below. Happy Reading.
