March's Featured Story: The Uncrowned King
The Uncrowned King is a short story about honesty, inspired by Harold Bell Wright’s book of the same name, in celebration of its 100-year anniversary. (Wright was a best selling author of several novels, including The Shepherd of the Hills.) In this poignant allegorical tale, a lie from the imposter on the throne tarnishes the kingdom, as the true king waits on the magic of the crown. It answers an ageless question: does truth prevail? A person can read the story in ten minutes, but the message will remain for a lifetime. Thus, we urge you to read Hawk's adaptation of The Uncrowned King, and receive a free e-book of the original Harold Bell Wright book.Stories Inspired by Bob Dylan
The stories are original, written by TJ Hawk yet inspired by the songwriting of Bob Dylan. Click below for a list and a brief description about these unique stories.
Each story contains a few
verses of a Dylan song to enhance the storytelling. English Professor and
public radio personality William King said, "I find Hawk Stories to be
a fascinating concept. Dylan is such a master of phrases that
his lyrics do lend themselves to story titles."
