Welcome to George’s Story my newest blog

Spring is here and the weather is getting warmer. It has been one heck of a winter, but I have no complaints since I did not see any snow at all during the winter season. I know the place I grew up in Central New York, was buried most of the winter. I hope you will get out and enjoy the warmer weather. I am getting used to my new blog with Blue Host as I try to create a blog that captures the spirit I am striving for. Please have little patience as I try to discover all of things I want my blog to be. First of all, I write both fiction and nonfiction and writing that is somewhere in between.

I am writing my memoir, It Really Happened. Honest in which I tell some of rather unique experiences I have had in my life that include when my dog ate my Christmas presents and camping out as a Boy Scout (hint: it did not go well) or when my dad became angry when he could not drive with all the hippie vans around (it just happened that Woodstock was happening nearby). There is something I learned growing up and that it, if it’s going to happen, it will happen to me. I will be posting some of the stories from my memoirs as there will be others I will post.

The fiction stories are usually submitted to Reedsy. I have submitted over three hundred short stories since 2019 that include all sorts of genres.

Here are the stories I have included in my Blue Post host:

1. “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” This story is based on a real person in my life and how baseball affected our friendship. This story was short listed on Reedsy back in 2025.
2. “The Coniff Experiment” Jonas Coniff is working with genetics to bring back his wife Naomi with the help of his assistant Jeremy, but one night he goes into his laboratory to begin the experiment that will bring her back.
3. “The Philadelphia Experiment” Based on an actual story, Merchant Marine Carl Allen was preparing his ship for a mission across the Atlantic during World War II when the USS Elderidge vanishes from the next dock. There were stories of a secret experiment the US Navy was doing that made this battleship escort appear in the Baltimore Naval yard 200 miles away.
4. “The Long Ride Home” Henry Dalphy has one last duty he must perform before he goes home to Minnesota after the Civil War. He will honor his slain President Lincoln to his grave in Springfield, Illinois. This is his story of that long ride home.
5. “Shoplifting” If you can believe this, I was once accused of shoplifting, but I was innocent. From my childhood memoir, this is the story of it could only happen to me in a case of it’s not what it looks like…really.
6. “What do you know about Scizophremia?” One of the hardest questions I’ve ever been asked at an interview, because I sure as heck didn’t know the answer, but my honest won out and I got the job anyway. Really.
7. Book Review: The Insider: Malcom Cowley and the Triumph of American Literature by Gerald Howard which explores the little-known career of Malcomb Cowley who was head of Viking Press during what was known as “The Lost Generation” era. While he was a complete stranger to me, Macolm Cowley’s influence on American Literature continues to influence modern writers to this day. I highly recommend this book if you are a literature efficenato
