"The Folly Atop The Biscuit"

"The Folly Atop The Biscuit" (c) 2104 Stu Jenks.

Folly: a building in the form of a castle, temple, etc, built to satisfy a fancy or conceit, often of an eccentric kind. (Collins English Dictionary)

    Legend has it, that the folly atop The Biscuit of the Mustang Mountains was built by an eccentric/mentally ill/unemployable son of a wealthy rancher.
    “He takes care of The Biscuit,” my source said to me long ago. “It’s his job.”
    It’s been seven years since I’ve hiked to the top of The Biscuit. Many of the cairns marking the crude trail up have fallen down. (I repaired them as I climbed.) The trail is now hard to follow. The folly at the top is still in fine shape but I can’t help but wonder where the crazy son of the rancher is, perhaps living in a nursing home or just dead. I guess I’ll never know.

The A & G proof has arrived...

...and I just ordered the first boxes of hardbound books. We are ahead of our scheduled July 7th release. I'll let you know when the books arrive. For those who would like to pre-order, just go to my squareup.com market page. And those of you in the Tucson area, Air & Gravity will be available at my studio, online of course, and at some other local outlets, one for sure being Tucson Touch Therapies.

The book looks and smells great. I'm very happy with Ingram, my printer. I think you will be too.

Oh, yeah. The story's compelling too.
