Core Beliefs – Chapter 60 - Gone Right. In St. Louis, the next two days at the clinic passed without much detectable activity, but behind the scenes, Matt, Ling, and Mellissa spent hours preparing the DNA strains that would transform Charley and Charlie. Melissa checked and rechecked the double helix combinations. Matt revised the protein clusters until the genetic material became stable and compatible with the cells of their new host. From the island, Clarence crosschecke

It's been a while since I've posted. I'll blame it on Easter Season, extra rehearsals, spring projects, and generally being in a state of "Duh." The real world is oppressive, and it's harder to escape to my make-believe corner and create. Mostly, too many loose ends that need to be tied up. (And the last thing I want to do is appear less than whole...and ask for help?)

You'll find them in the usual spot, under blog, under Sneak Peeks It's easy to get distracted and lose focus. I've had a couple of chapters ready for several days, but stuff kept happening, and stuff didn't get done. These are all important to the story, but Chapter 59 is not the norm. I could have split it into multiple, bite size bits but something inside said not to take a breath...keep going. They are posted. Read if you dare. Yours, W.R. Golding

Core Beliefs – Chapter 59 - Gone wrong. On Tuesday, April 10th, Charlie and Charley landed in Kansas City. Joe and Cynthia had no trouble spotting the two. The pair spent two days in Kansas City relaxing. Charlie and Cynthia, often to themselves, talking and laughing. It tickled Charley that the two liked each other. The foursome spent hours in the den talking about their time on the island. Joe and Cynthia often shook their heads in wonder at the paradise the young lovers

Core Beliefs – Chapter 58 - The Second Meeting of Dlrow Wen When Matt’s team returned from Africa, there was a backlog of tasks to complete. Matt, Ling, and Timmy headed to Wichita to help prepare for the second assembly of the Council of Dlrow Wen. In Matt’s mind, the meeting had tremendous potential for progress, but also the possibility of everything coming unglued. One joy helped keep Matt from fretting too much on the 16th. Suchet’s birthday. Matt wanted to take time

Core Beliefs – Chapter 57 - Charley and Charlie and Paradise All their gear had been moved into the new tunnels. Charley and Charlie had an anti-matter power supply, satellite communication equipment, an inflatable boat with a motor, scuba gear with a refill compressor, a matter converter that could be programmed to make gas, water, oil, and almost anything they needed, except food, and the toolbox. They also had the island all to themselves and planned to take full advanta

Core Beliefs – Chapter 56 - Seal the Deal. February 12th was a fun day. Matt’s family, Joe and Cynthia, Chris’s clan, Suchet with his family, and Charley and Charlie had flown to San Diego. Charlotte had contracted an older ocean-going yacht, 225 feet long, with a crew. The accommodations were 1960’s luxury and, importantly, an accessible storage hold. Nine crates and sixteen people loaded and settled in for a sea cruise. Shortly after sunset, the captain ordered the line

Last night I submitted a ten-page bit to our writing critique group. Got smacked. Not mean smacking, but the reality that I missed the mark on communicating my thoughts, story, characters from my mind to the page. I submitted the opening pages of Daniel book five. Because it is a series, a continuation of previous books, I tried to weave some backstory in the give a reader some context of events before, and aspects of relationships. What I discovered...I failed miserably, cre

Just noticed no one has read Core Beliefs - Chapter 53 - A Charlie Christmas I must have screwed up the posting??? Honestly, it's a good read!

I greatly appreciate all who are taking time to read the Blog posts and book chapters on my webpage. It's a comfort that you find them worth reading. Something I noticed just today is at the end of the blog posts, there's a place to leave comments. Anything you have to say, good, bad, or the color of the bananas at the store will be appreciated. Thank you for your consideration. Walter
