WHO IS MARIO?

RogueNovelist — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 12:08:36 -0700

WHO IS MARIO?Outside of the customs cubicle, inside the front sliding doors to the Leon Airport in Mexico, my driver held an overhead cardboard sign with my last name hand printed on it: CAMPBELL. I followed him outside where he placed my two travel bags in the trunk of the white Lexus. While I watched the thirty-something man I’d decided he was a typical Mexican hombre physically ...

Viva México

RogueNovelist — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 19:07:09 -0700

Just returned from San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Internet sites explain that people travel to San Miguel to study art, learn Spanish and take Mexican cooking classes, if not moving there to live in the delightful historic town in central Mexico. I write that people go there to drown in tequila. What else? San Miguel featured prominently in the Mexican War of Independence, and has since developed ...

Everything Mexico

RogueNovelist — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 12:46:58 -0700

My son told me he was getting married in Mexico next month and that my attendance was required. I was thrilled about the wedding but not the location. He had vacationed in Mexico several times and loved the cultural atmosphere, sun-drenched beaches, humid mountainous terrains, beer, food and the cheap way of life. Getting married in Mexico was an event contrary to my better judgment. It was ...

Blind Ambition

RogueNovelist — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 16:28:11 -0700

She was smart, intuitive and blind. She was chic, sensitive and insightful. Elizabeth Stafford was my twelve year old neighbor. During three summers she attended Cal School for the Blind—where she received a lexicon of instructions about life, liberty and liberation inside the void of blindness, intertwined outside in a world of vision.Elizabeth had a divine, light soprano voice, which ...

Black Political Thought in American History

Alexander Murray Palmer Haley was a guest speaker in my senior class—Black Political Thought in American History—at Cal-State University, Hayward, spring 1972. Our classroom wouldn’t be large enough to accommodate the students and a few faculty members, so our instructor scheduled the hour lecture for the cafeteria. This was the same Alex Haley that was a senior editor for Reader’s ...

My Mentor, King George the Inexhaustible

RogueNovelist — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 12:09:00 -0700

Mentor and friend King George was an exemplary example for me of fearlessness intertwined with endurance. He tolerated the March floods of 1955, survived the April mud slides and prospered through the housing construction during May. Nobility ran deep in his blood. He jumped from job to job, hopping and leaping and taking on the most arduous tasks, resembling “D-Day”, the largest ...

Not Hemingway

RogueNovelist — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 21:21:58 -0700

When I began writing my novel DUBROVNIK a simple plot evolved. Having worked and lived in Dubrovnik, Croatia, studying the Croat culture, I understood many of the historical complications involved in displaying their small piece of earth. Gathering geographical and cultural information was easy. Romancing the locals in detailing historical and present Croatian ethics was difficult.My story ...

He was a prostitute using and abusing men and women, boys and girls, anything willing to pay and play. Sexual dragons Johnny could tolerate, favors and fantasies he could accommodate, drugs and alcohol he would instigate. The state of his consciousness repressed into repsychedeli; a place he felt the influence of past indulgences of any psycho-active ingredient.Playing the game, Sara approached ...
