Hip Hip Hooray!
After all the hard work and insecurity of writing/self-publishing The Black Jellybeans EPISODE ONE, there is now an actual reader’s review on Amazon. The beautifully written summation brought tears to my eyes.

CAUTION WORD WORK AHEAD
A prototype Graphic Flipbook about words: this first brief journey will explore Quest, Query, Question, and Request. The 2nd page will include a definition of each word, followed by how the book will then flow.
Any ideas?

If you like stories that blend humor, historical fiction, and a touch of the mystical, you’ve come to the right place. You will find that and more in The Chestnut Point Stories, written by Jackson Tel. Set in 1906 Baltimore, the author weaves whimsy into serious social undercurrents, featuring characters like Jim Eberton and the “Sensational Miss Jones,” to create a mix of narratives full of charm, cleverness, and depth.
The stories are written for those who enjoy traveling back in time with a sense of humor. However, be forewarned: readers may be drawn into the land of the subconscious and the surrounding mystical realms, or they might be enticed down a rabbit hole —or two.
Readers follow the often slapstick lives of the ‘Patuxent River’ Mann family of Maryland, who first settled along the shores of that lovely river during colonial times. The characters who manage to make it all the way through to the twenty-first century are to be congratulated, as they will be on a twisty-turning-winding roller coaster ride throughout the series.
However, to those characters who stubbornly stick around as themselves, attending to unresolved issues, one can only say, “Get a new life, for God’s sake!”
And ‘Good riddance!’ to those who do something that gets them kicked out of the story series completely.
