Granddads, Grown Men on Scooters, and Lumineering

Grace & MJ chat with Rick about his upcoming feature novel, but we can't stay in one lane very long.

Hank Cotton did a star turn worthy of the name as the inaugural featured writer on the Southern Writers Guild. His novella—“The Ugly Duckling”—brought us chills and a rare look into the seamy underside of the trucking world. Great work!

Now the spotlight turns to Rick West and his novel, “First Light”.

For the next four weeks, Rick will deliver excerpts from the book as well as running commentary about the story, the characters, and the place.

This discussion focuses on Rick’s work, tempered by MJ’s take on being a granddad and Grace’s efforts to go Lumineering. All in all, fun, interesting stuff.
