1- SOCIAL COMMENTARIES From Around MY NATIVE VIRGINIA!...

A) Now, this blog, one of six, specializes in focusing on my Virginia's CAMPUSES! There will be NO, I repeat, NO pissant slams on any individual! Any "comments" will be removed! There will be social commentaries on what's right about a campus...honors...neat history stuff...suggestions...and memorials!
B) The very first squire blog---http: //thesquiresview.blogspot.com/---was created in December of 2007! A major news agency did pick it up, with this blog feeding all across America. And NOW it is read in 50+ countries around the world, from Albania to Venezeula to Romania. There are now six (6) blogs! http://TheSquiresPoliticalViews.blogspot.com/..http: //TheSquiresMtTales.blogspot.com/...

C) This proud native Virginian, educator and author has a degree in Philosophy from Bridgewater College, with grad studies at U.Va, the College of William and Mary, Old Dominion U. and Montana State U.
D) Over 180+ newspaper essays have been published, me practicing writing in earnest, in America's oldest newspaper.  Numerous national and regional magazine articles, too. Still remember, as a high school senior English class, the teacher reading aloud to the class something I had written. She noted, at the end, that this guy would never become a published author! Did, later, send her copies of published writings over the years....
E) And that first novel, The Serpentine Bond!, 637+ pages, has been completed and is being slowly and carefully tweaked, now. My first novel is dedicated to any collegian from the past, present and in the future! Yes, to ANYONE, too, who enjoys reading an epic look at college friendships and...ADVENTURES! Coeds ARE treated with respect from guys who remember what it's like to have caring moms and dads and a sister or three who MUST be respected!!
F) TSB! is about seven (7) university students who meet and form a unique bond while studying at a large, historic campus in the East. No campus title is ever revealed, for a bit of suspense.  All of their activities over four years of bonding and  studying, though, sound a bit like the University of Virginia.
Hmmm, one weekend the seven do venture off to a school east of their campus to help celebrate Winter Break exam week (that's Christmas!) There, that school's "Yule Log" merriment included, around America's oldest continuously used academic bldg., the reading of a tale about some nasty ole green guy, with the school's prez doing the reading, dressed up with a red outfit and white beard. 
That very last night, before walking across the campus to grab the diploma, goes back in the 'secret garden', safe behind the aged brick serpentine walls. The bubbly is brought out...and another and another bottle. One of the seven, never named, begins to express their discontentment with American society's basic values going awry, even going into detail.
Ten years later? More and more events begin to come out, with that "plan" to make America "implode" inches out, publicly. Which one is doing the major damage? The "other" six don't know! The rush is on to stop the "plan", but who?  And before our Amer-i-can society is brought to a standstill for a day.....?
G) Hold on...forgot to 'splain about that all-important chapter 2. Forshadowing...SIX persons are huddled, during an unrelenting snowstorm in a mountaintop cemetery, around a freshly dug grave down a piece from the dilapadated board and batten chapel.....
