James Harbour
Chapter One
It’s Been Addressed
The town of James Harbour was only a few short kilometers up ahead. Jake Fox, a police detective, travelling from the mainland, was hoping his assumptions were correct. This narrowing of the main road had to mean the god-forsaken bus ride would soon be over. It had to. For the four-hour ferry trip and the longest eight-hour drive ever from where the ferry finally landed him ashore had finally taken its toll. His whole body ached, and his neck made a crunching noise as he tilted it slightly to look out the tiny window next to him. Now, he was beginning to realize how remote this community was going to be. A complete contrast to the big city he just left behind. ‘Geez, can you believe people choose to live here?’ He mumbles under his breath. Jake Surveys the landscape some more. He couldn’t deny the beauty of the place. Snow-capped rolling hills, and rugged unforgiving mountains sheltered the tiny hamlet on three landlocked sides. Everything protected from the mood swings of mother nature. The picturesque backdrops he was starting to enjoy suddenly changed. They quickly went from the perfect desktop screensaver to a hillside you would see in Mordor from the Lord of the Rings. The Greyhound bus had begun its descent down a steep winding road. On the left, ice walls and cold black jagged stone. On the right, a thousand foot drop to the Atlantic ocean and some more cold black jagged stone. The further down, the more barren the place became. Jake’s grip got tighter. He looked straight ahead and at the very end of the road, he could barely start to make out what looked like a sign.

HAHAHA!!! – this was the literal spam comment in my folder today. I clear them out from time to time. Most makes zero sense and the rest are cialis links. This one though, this one hit me differently. It stopped me in my tracks and I gave it a minute or two. Felt there was something here. They say you can see art anywhere if you really look at it and I kind of feel there’s poetry in that spam computer generated gibberish. What about you? LOL

Now, For Your Logo News
So, what do you think of my new logo? Sorry my friends, this post is a definite shameless plug and I apologize right away. But, I can’t help sharing how I feel about it. I’ve posted it on a few social media platforms already with awesome feedback so far and I just had to make a blog entry to keep the happiness going. I commissioned this some time ago and I am super thrilled with how it turned out. The process was a slow one, and I wanted it to be that way. It had to be perfect, and I wanted to get something that speaks to who I am as a writer. I think it hit the exact mark. Don’t you?
In the same conversation and very serendipitous, a very good friend of mine over at One day at a time… suggested a few days ago that one of my quotes would look good on a coffee mug. Ding! A light went off. That suggestion and the fact that my logo was ready, made me think of combining the two and potentially creating a little project for myself. How about dabbling into the world of swag, Ash? Maybe a said coffee cup, or a T-Shirt, or pretty much anything I could detail using both my logo and some of my works. Of course, this is coming off the high of being excited, but I feel motivated. It’s a good feeling, I’m proud and I don’t care who knows it. Let’s see what I come up with, shall we? In saying that, I have attached a photo below to give you a glimpse of my vision and what I am talking about. Please, your comments are welcomed and go ahead and share your thoughts. Feed my excitement and you never know, I might give it a shot. Maybe in the not so distant future you too can own a little Earth to Ash.
Until…
