Excerpt from Southern noir  'FALSE DANDELIONS'...

Patty sits quietly at the kitchen table sipping her morning coffee. Jesse is gathering up a few items for his day-long job of picking dandelions for his grandmother. The tension in the air is thick. Patty doesn't look at her son as he goes in and out of the kitchen placing items in plastic grocery bags atop the table. Jesse never makes eye contact with his mother as he places two hand towels and a bottle of water in a bag. Looking downward into her coffee cup, Patty nervously taps her fingers on the table. She's about to explode...

Story Clip From "WET MATCHES"

 

AUTHOR RANDY CAMP VISITS CNA STUDENTS AT EAST HIGH

 

 

On Monday, December 16th, author Randolph Randy Camp met with the sophomore Certified Nursing Assistant students from East High to discuss one of his novels, Wet Matches, that the students read. The students relished the opportunity to actually meet and discuss his work.

Wet Matches is a metaphoric story loaded with highly engaging characters who consistently demonstrate empathy as they mature and move beyond severe barriers in their life to become healed contributors to society.  Mr. Camp shared his personal story of growing up in the  segregated South and how his experience, and a song that he wrote as a teenager, became the plot of his book. Students were spellbound as he discussed the process of writing and publishing a book.
Mr. Camp recently had his third book, Twenty-nine Dimes, a Love Story, published, and his sequel to Wet Matches is in the final editing stages. - (Mr. Tim Wagner, Instructor-Teacher)

Jack is asleep, buried beneath the covers of the comfortable bed. Crystal can't sleep. She seems preoccupied with other matters as she paces the floor and periodically glances out the window at the night activity of the massive truck stop. As the flickering neon lights illuminate Crystal's sheer night gown, we see her tantalizing body while gazing out the window. Crystal leaves the window then strolls next to the bed. She stands over her sleeping husband. She stares at him as if she wants to wake him but suddenly steps away....Crystal paces the floor again.

Clip From "...THEN THE RAIN"

EXCERPT FROM THE ROCK N' ROLL THRILLER NOVEL '...THEN THE RAIN' : Inside the Wright Way Fellowship Church, we find the pews fully packed. The teen choir is sitting down as Pastor Wright, standing so sternly behind the podium, is about to begin his sermon. A wide screen TV monitor is positioned on the pulpit to the left of the podium. Panning the pews, we take notice of how obediently the entire congregation have their velvet-covered Wright Way Prophecy Bibles readily available at their fingertips. Angle on Deacons' Row where we find Viki tightly confined and squeezed between Deacon Mills and Deacon John. Pastor Wright speaks "Thank you young people for such a beautiful song. Yes indeed, the Wright time is the best time, Amen."  Collectively,  the vast congregation obediently responds with "Amen."
