- William Esmont, Author of FIREABOUT THE RUMBLIN' (A SHORT STORY):Phil Knite is so ready for a vacation, but he and his family get more from mother nature than they can handle. The rumblin', as described by the Camp Ranger, is terrible force, something to be feared. Phil ignores the redneck ranger's advise and heads to bed. Later that night, when a wicked storm blows in from the north, Phil and his family are forced to shack up with the rest of the campers. Phil knew the Ranger was a little crazy, but he wasn't prepared for what lies within the rumblin'!

We set up camp, started a fire, roasted hot dogs, and began what was supposed to be a great weekend. We knew there was a 30% chance of thunder showers but went anyway. Well, guess what? Within the first 3-4 hours of our weekend excursion, the sky turned black as night, the wind picked up and a huge wall of clouds came rushing at the campground like nothing I've ever seen before. The camp owner buzzed through the campground on a golf cart, urging all of us to come to the store basement before the storm hit. We did. If you've ever been camping, you'll know that there are a varity of characters in a campground. With all of us packed like sardines, pets and all, the writer in me began to imagine what it would be like if we were trapped in there. What if we couldn't get out? What if a tree fell on the building and it caught on fire? What if one of the campers was a killer? Sounds crazy I know. But that's how my writerly mind works; I can't apologize for that. While huddled up with my family, I started characterizing the other detainees and we had a few laughs. Before long, the rain dried up and we were set free. When we returned, I wrote The Rumblin'. I hope you enjoy it. It's short, but fast paced, filled with a great cast, and very suspenseful. REVIEWS:"Reading the reviews of this book, I wondered if it was all it was hyped up to be.
