Creationism and Evolution. I never thought of the writing process in those terms, but you hit the nail on the head, Ramey. Well said!
Thanks so much for visiting, y'all! Enjoy the blog tour.
Wonderful story and great blog Ramsey. As you described the world, I could see it, I could smell it, I believed it, well done! Your trailer for the book is very good and I especially loved the soft touch of the great southern music. You certainly did set the bar high on this first blog! lol
Yes! Creation and Evolution--a perfect analogy. I bet your world building is amazing. Just reading how you could feel the heat, smell the grass etc made me relive my own days roaming the hills on our 40 acres. The heat, the breeze, hiding in the shade, braving the sun for the fat blackberries... ah, those really were the days. My hills smelled more like cow patties, but *shrugs* :D
Well, characters just do whatever they want to do. I'm just glad there are more books coming along.

That sounds like an interesting series. Love the new cover too. Is it a mystery? We have possums that visit our yard here in Texas. A baby moved into one of our sheds for a time also.
Your descriptive paragraph makes me long to read SMOMR again. So that's what I'll do.
When a crisis threatens the town and danger threatens beloved family and neighbors, these two eight-year-olds depend on an unusual treasure map, along with their own courage and ingenuity, to restore peace and tranqility on Moonlight Ridge.
Lovely pictures and loving possum. The ones I've seen usually have bared teeth and shiny eyes. Will have to read the series, sounds like fun.
Thanks for visiting and commenting! Possums put up a big front when they feel threatened, then tend to run away or drop dead if you aren't adequately frightened by the teeth and eyes!
Thanks Jo! Hope the wolfeener doesn't get you this time!
Thanks, Malcolm!
Interesting commentary and preview of an interesting novel. Good work!
Camille
Keep on playing that sweet music of words!
Rebecca
I'll look forward to reading about the kids and the possum!
How interesting to find that your first sentence ended up on page 35 of the book. Books do come alive and go off on their own journeys sometimes, dont they?
Loved the kick-off post.
Love it. The title and content were so in tune. You led us on a journey of the writing of your book. I have read it and it is an absolutely wonderful southern novel. Congratulations on your new series.
Thanks to everyone for visiting Moonlight Ridge, and for leaving the great comments.
Thanks, Camille. Glad you stopped by!
