I guess I should have been prepared for this:

Interested in story and narrative poems. Have been writing since age 10. Over my life I have written hundreds of articles explaining geology to normal people. I'm politically moderate, socially tolerant of many sorts of people, and somewhat idiosyncratic. I check in here a couple times a week.

The titles of my books are Jack's Fork Journal, Alley Spring Diversions, Along Current River, The Rockhound Ranger Chronicles and The Paw Paw Almanac and Reader, co-written with Steve L. Nagle. Am working on Karst Tales and River Songs and Wayfaring Sagas, another compilation.

Hello to all followers! I'm just now getting the hang of this. As noted, I'm a writer, poet, geologist, caver and lifelong Missourian with one foot in the southern suburbia near St. Louis, and one in the South Central Ozarks near the big blue springs.
