This is the story of writing when you are too young to know anything, and about almost destroying an eye at age eighteen. It may take me a bit to get to the eye bit of the story, but it’s all of a piece.
We Need You!
The process of a novel making it’s way into being a movie is long and sometimes complicated. But we seem to be moving right along. Things are going great in PA movie news, and I hope to have stuff I can share with you soon, but take my word for it — the project is […]
Michael Bunker: Interview on The Wordslinger Podcast about the Pennsylvania Movie
From Novel to Film

Solar Oven Baked Sweet Potatoes

The Mud Years
This whole thing is a metaphor. It still works and is true the way it’s written, but sometimes I’m too subtle so… this whole thing is a metaphor.

Finally! Time. To get. Time and the Gloaming.
I’ve been very excited about this. For the last few weeks I’ve told you not to buy this book. That is a hard thing to do and really mean it. And you’ve done well. But now it’s time…
