This forum is for authors and writers of history.
Mostly nonfiction but fiction allowed too. Discussion can include research into archives, both academic and popular writing skills. Take time introduce yourself. I will be inviting other authors here

And the RANTS Just Keep on Coming
Arthur Gurmankin is retired newspaper editor, technology consultant and professional educator. He has degrees in Biological Science and Art History/Fine Art and currently produces photography and digital art for publishers and, publishes books of his own.
Arthur’s books are primarily about environmental subjects and are richly illustrated with his photographs and digital renditions of plant and animal life and their habitats. He does all of his own book and cover designs and page layouts.
Arthur’s most recent environmental book, A River Which Sweeps Me Along is a series of beautifully conceived and rendered images of mountain and woodland streams and rivers. The spirituality evoked by moving waters is captured through imagery, philosophy and personal commentary. His next book about Nature and the Environment, Incandescent Twilight, is in progress.
The prequel to And the RANTS Just Keep on Coming is RANTS Against the RIGHT-WING.
In reverse chronological order, Arthur is a grandfather, father and husband.
Aside from sending RANTS to newspapers, he spends a lot of time around lakes and trout streams in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains. If you’re in that part of the world and come across someone standing in a stream, holding both a camera and a fly rod, perhaps in the act of photographing a brook trout which he’s about to release, don’t hesitate to say “hello!” It’s probably him. Such behavior does not represent that of a person who is “indecisive,” rather, someone who is twice as passionate as a normal person.
Book covers, images of all kinds for book interiors/content, page layouts and many image related services are what I do. I produce imagery in many subject but Plants, Insects and Scenic are my personal favorites.
The image below and the link above will give you an idea of my work.

TRUE HE HAS KILLED A FEW PEOPLE BUT WHEN YOU ARE RIGHT, YOU ARE RIGHT. WELL, YOU GET THE IDEA, CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE THE ABOVE BLAW,BLAW, BLAW. A PLEASURE TO MEET A KINDRED SPIRIT. KEEP YOUR F-STOPS UNDER CONTROL.
