I spent some time yesterday working on a new look for the site. I’ll probably be fidgeting a bit with it today as well. If you follow my posts in a feed reader, you won’t notice anything, but if you visit the site, you might see a glitch here and there until construction is completed.
Note: this is not to imply in any way that I am proficient at building anything on the internet. “Construction” for me is more along the lines of “how can I get this free WordPress theme created by someone much smarter than me to do what I want it to do?”
One response to “We apologize for the dust.”
Hello Mr. Kirby,
I am currently writing a book in my English Class. It is about 16 year old Jesuit Missionary that goes with Francisco Coronado in search of the Seven Cities of Gold. I have not come up with a name for the boy and was wondering if you could give me some ideas. And like you said in your interview above, you had three stories you wanted to write but was able to put them all together. I also have two other stories that I want to write about. One is about an early Mayan city that was magnificent but later that Aztecs declare war and destroy the city. The story is about a young Mayan boy who used to live in that city and is now enslaved for the Aztecs caring the gold up to a mine. Then the final book is about a young Viking boy who is marooned with his father in present day Minnesota and journey down south in search of these mines in hope of someday returning to Scandinavia to report their findings. After months of travelling they find a long train of the Mayans caring gold and decide to follow. They find the mines and secretly help the Mayans form a city in the mines. (Inside the Grand Canyon) Later there are 6 other cities added but the only way you could enter was if you were able to find a carved arch in Canyon and figure out the riddle inscribed in Anglo Saxon Runes. Then after traveling through the cave you would come upon a cross. Once you came upon the cross you would have to kneel down and make the sign of the cross. And once you did that the wall behind the door would move. I was just wondering if you could give me a few tips on writing a book, a list of your favorite descriptive words you would use in your writing, and some names I could use for my Characters. Thank You so much. I hope you continue to write more stories I enjoyed the Clockwork Three. It was if I could not set the book down.

PS. If I was to give a name to the title of the book If I combined them all it would be “The Journals of Cibola”. Thank You, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
PSS. Two more things and I am terribly sorry if I am bothering you but I was also wondering if you could give me ideas on what I should do in the situation that I am in. (Some examples of what I should write about.) And the second thing is do you have any ideas for a good pen name. Thank You so much and I am sorry if I bothered you.
