[ARCHIVED THREAD] - The Union Creek Journal (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 12/22/2011 4:31:51 AM EDT

Like many other members, I've started doing some writing and thought I would share it with the AR15 community.

My story is called The Union Creek Journal. It's the chronicle of a Midwestern family's struggle to survive after a global economic collapse. In addition to entertaining and engaging fiction, I include a number of survival tips and ideas.

You can access the main page here: http://unioncreekjournal.wordpress.com/

However, the journal entries are posted on the main page in reverse chronological order. I highly recommend that you read them in chronological order.

Here is the link to the first entry: http://unioncreekjournal.wordpress.com/2011/12/07/the-new-normal-november-2-2014/

You can access the entries in order by clicking their individual links in the upper, right-hand corner of the page.

There is no cost or obligation to read the Journal. You can sign up to receive e-mail notifications when new entries are posted if you like. I promise, no SPAM!

Today's entry is the first of several entries that tell parallel stories.

Enjoy!
