Looking to the Future

With family around this past weekend for our 50th Wedding Anniversary celebration, a new inspiration has begun to form for a series of books based in the Branson/Hollister/Ozark region. The "Bill Leverne" authored fiction works all represent basically my work, but are also family collaborations... therefore the use of the pen-name. This series will fall in that category, as well.

Two elements of the book concept will include: 1) examining the benefits as well as conflicts coming out of the sources of the current persons in the community (locals {at least two generations}, visitors, part-time residents, first generation full-time residents (retired and still working), and 2) the strong seasonality of the region - the community personality changes with the seasons. While stories are based on persons, plot and place, it seems I generally start with place. Interesting!

Comments welcomed.

Happy Reading! ;-)
