Huron County

From: September 21, 2023

Description:

This is a tale about a death that occurred on a small lake in Huron County in the 1950s. The information passed down through the decades is scant at best, so I added to it and spiced it up a bit. The resulting story is told below. This story is part truth, part fiction, and part legend.

The Grandmother of Humanity - Short

From: October 15, 2022

Description:

I highly recommend the long version, but if you don't have the time or the desire, please try this short. It is an excerpt from the novella in the first half, with some new content in the second half. It helps explain the science in the long version - which, according to my editor, is somewhat didactic.
