Welcome to the Clan. Come on in and let me introduce you to the guys. “Big” David, Stick, Chucky, Mark and of course Mikey. A group of friends growing up in a small fading coal town desperately trying to make it through fifth grade alive. That is until a class bully, some bootlegged whiskey and an admittedly unwise double dog dare opened the door to a long held town legend. Who was this witch that’s rumored to be buried just outside the old Leech cemetery? Why did the adults get so squirrely when asked about her? Was her tombstone really hollow? Does she really answer questions (for a price)? Just how did she really meet her end? The clan takes off to find her and expose her secrets. Along the way they get help from a lot of “ol” timers, town gossips, and a cryptic old man by the name of mister Bill (who seems to know a lot more than he’s telling) and let’s not forget his dog Bullet. What awaits our boys in this first installment appropriately titled “The legend of the Leech cemetery witch”
Along the way you’ll get to know our characters, complete with “quotes” from the books. I think you’ll find a great deal of wisdom in the words. Maybe even learn a little along the way. I’ll post as often as I can, but these boys keep me busy. The book’s release date is hopefully winter 2020 but with everything that’s going on we may be a little late. Until then… read on join the clan and get to know us a bit better.

Wisdom in a “Button Jar”
I want to introduce you to a couple of folk today. No, neither one is in the books, but each had a profound effect on me as a person. Neither were flashy, brash, or loud in any way. As a matter of fact, they’re lives came and went, and the world scarcely took notice. It… Continue Reading →
Who is this Witch that you speak of?
This week’s post is Chapter three as we go through our book. We begin to notice each boy’s personality and watch as their relationship develops. Mark, the class bully, also begins to take his place in our tale. You may also notice a subtle Christian overtone has begun to develop; as a former pastor, I… Continue Reading →
Ode to the lowly Whistle Pig.
My fellow TCC members. Most of you have gotten used to the fact that some, if not most of our stories, are a bit on the odd side. When I say most, I mean all and let’s be real, all of you possess an uncommonly high degree of common sense elsewise you wouldn’t be here…. Continue Reading →
