About the work

A closer look.

You name a real place: a town, a rock, a lake, a street corner, a building. I read what actually happened there and what is told about it, from real sources, and send back the story told plainly. 500-1,500 words, delivered as a text file. Sources listed at the end. Legend is labelled legend, never passed off as record. Example: Kummakivi, a balancing rock in Finland that has sat on another stone since the ice age, and the stories told around it. If I cannot find real material on your place, I tell you and you owe nothing. One revision included.
