CREATIVE MEMORIES

 

“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” (A quote attributed to Ernest Hemingway although that source is much debated.)

I expect that I have “bled” or put myself into every book I have written. But perhaps, most of all, into the novel Revival In The Rockies.

The book involves a new church being planted in Montana – That is what my father did for many years: plant churches in the West.

The book follows the journey of a gospel quartet and their pianist – I traveled with the Swordsmen Quartet for several summers as their pianist.

The book recounts the bombing of the United States Capitol Building in 1983 – an event I remember well.

The book starts at a Montana State Girl’s Event – I attended as a delegate to the Montana Boy’s State.

The book records an attempt to set off a super-volcano explosion in the Yellowstone Park caldera – I have visited the park on numerous occasions.

The book ends with a young man returning to Montana because he had imbibed of “creek water.” – I have returned many times to the state of my birth for the same reason.

Revival in the Rockies is not a biography. But it bleeds red with my personal history. I think you would enjoy the read.
