Sorry folks, I have to pull this one off the shelf for now- it's getting a big re-write then I'm going to submit it to a pro magazine. I'll post the results here, wish me luck!

Maverick at Large
- Garrett W Vance
- Bangkok, Thailand
- I'm a writer and an artist, specializing in science fiction, fantasy and horror. I have a fun gig as the Art Director of Eric Flint's Grantville Gazette magazine, dedicated to stories set in the alternate history 1632 series. I now get to do things I dreamed of doing in my youth and I love it. Life-wise I've always been a maverick; seeing what's around the bend, learning foreign tongues. I've done a lot of unusual jobs, lived in some exotic countries (3 years in Japan and going on 7 here in Thailand), and traveled around the world seeking adventure. I find this lifestyle inspiring in that I am rarely bored. Sometimes strange things happen to me that some people think of as supernatural or paranormal. I think these are only natural phenomena we don't understand yet, much the way my ancestors once thought thunder was caused by Thor's mighty hammer. I've seen ghosts, UFO's and monsters, and have been glad every time because they make for good campfire stories. Along with my art and fiction I'm going to share some of these bizarre but true experiences- I promised some wonders and I'm going to deliver. -My middle name is Wayne, but I may change it to 'Adventure' one of these days.

This story is a fiction of the 'magical reality' variety. The character of 'McGuffey' is based loosely on a fascinating old fellow who really ran just such a rock shop on the banks of the Columbia River back in the 1970s. The personal details of this character are entirely fictional.
I made the header art from a photo I took in Namibia, the landscape and geology there was strikingly similar to my old stomping grounds in wide open Eastern Washington State.
