My next posting will be a segment of a brand new novel, a serialized book in progress. It is a work of fiction and as in my Zack Tolliver, FBI series , I describe actual locations and authentic time frames and global events. The characters, however, are fictional and any resemblance to events or persons living or dead, while possible given the nature of this work, is in fact unintentional and largely coincidental.

The novel is drawn from my experience working in a New England Junior Boarding School in the 70’s and 80’s, the age-old traditions in full flower upon my arrival, and their gradual demise.

I intend this serialized work as a regular feature once a month in this space until you and I and the novel have finished. My other postings, comments on writing and publishing and some historical research will continue to appear.

A statement of rights will precede each segment as follows: ©️2016 R Lawson Gamble. All rights to this work are reserved. No part of this work may be used or reproduced in part or in whole in any manner whatsoever without written permission from the author.
