First Day

Today is Friday, June 19, 2009 and the birthday of Schooner Creek Blog site. I'm Mike, your host and creator of this blog. I had a real hard time trying to figure out just what a blog was suppose to be, It kinda sounds funny when you say it, b-l-o-g. I'm in southwest Missouri, and it sort of sounds like a fella I know down here that says things like " Dern that was a heavy blog that feel ofn that truck." Or "He done got his four wheeler hung up in that blog" and of course " "the blog was so blick that I coulda run onto the breek."

This is also the place that I will feature my books as they get published. The first one The Holder Saga, Missouri Beginnings, should be out in 6 weeks or so. Followed by Missouri Sunrise and finally.....well that one ain't named yet. Its a triology, beginning in the early 1800's and ending with the call for war in 1918. Its a story about one family, and the challenges they live with as they settle the Missouri Ozarks.

I also plan to feature a fishing report, life on Table Rock Lake stories , and just about anything else one might want to know about! Let me know if you have a question, or need to find something, I can usually come up with an answer....

Come Back now!
