Three of my boys.

Greg Johnson (center) is one of my writing inspirations. He is the "character behind the character" of Unk Dial in The Wayfaring Stranger. Greg lives at Union Hill, LA (in the Ten Mile area) and is one of the Godliest and wisest friends I have.

Pictured with him at Dry Creek Camp are two members of the Creek Redneck Literary Society, Todd Burnaman (L) and Jake Givens.(R)

Todd and Jake are giving invaluable advice as I work on my next novel, A Good Place To Be. * Todd is the manager at our beloved Dry Creek Camp and Jake serves in many capacities at the Camp. I love these guys as sons and am very proud of them.

* If you would like to look over early chapters of A Good Place, email me at curtiles@aol.com

Eating Vietnamese in Houston. When I was in Houston last week for a writing clinic, I ate dinner with some Florida College- Dry Creek Camp friends.
