Today's Thoughts on…

The multiple platforms of "The Homeplace Saga" stories

1. Part II of the Centennial/Founding stories continue on this blog, tomorrow, Friday and next Friday. Part III - the Civil War years and stories will follow.

Planning has begun to publish this short story collection in ebook and print formats.

Some stories feature farriers and blacksmiths! ;-)

2. Earlier this week, we began a new series of short stories set in 1876 (immediately after the Founding stories (1833-1875): The Kings of Oak Springs, Episode 1 at:

http://homeplaceseries.hubpages.com/hub/The-Kings-of-Oak-Springs-Episode-1

This series is our attempt to share some personal, family-oriented stories based in that time and place. We hope to follow in the tradition of Little House on the Prairie, Centennial, and How the West Was Won. Note that this series is on HubPages, under author "Homeplace Series." Other stories and commentary on The Homeplace Saga are also included at this author site.

3. There is now a "cross-over" between Founding stories, here, and the Weston Wagons West series of short stories on HubPages under author "DrBill-WmL-Smith" - now with 28 episodes published.

Levi, and his father, Jacob Weston were introduced as Homeplace characters in:

Jacob's background was introduced in the Weston Wagons West episode at:

These stories will be expanded as time goes by. Sign up to follow both of these series at HubPages to get notified when new stories are published.

4. I would love to get feedback on any of these stores. If you don't want to do it publicly, please send me an email at: billsmith200 at gmail.com

Thanks for caring! ;-)
