Donald Ford featured a photo taken by RG Bud Phelps
Donald Ford, poet and novelist, requested the use of the above photo taken by RG Bud Phelps for his poem “Came Thunder and the Rain” I met Don through a Writer’s Cafe on Linkedin, and struck up a friendship. We developed a mutual interest in discussing when is Fact/Fiction and where do you draw the line. Many authors joined the discussion and I learned the use of a new word – Faction (a combination of the two). Faction has been explained as a Fact that has been modified by Fiction therefore has lost the right to be a representative of the total Fact. Interesting, don’t you think. Donald Ford has published a children’s book titled “Royal Ferdinand” which I downloaded on my Kindle and do plan on reading it to our first Great Grandchild. It was a delightful book and since the cover was not part of my kindle download Donald offered to send it to me. I sent him my email address along with several storm pictures from the August 6 2011 storm that swept through Lincoln – hence his request to use it as shown above. I recommend that you find Donald’s book “Royal Ferdinand” and read it to your children or grand children or even your great grandchildren.
