RCSTORIES: The Literary World of Randy Camp

 

'VEHICLES'
 You pick me up…take me around
 You use me up when you’re feelin’ down
 Just like vehicles goin’ around and around
 Just like vehicles in my town
 You only need me when you’re down
 Next time when you’re passin’ by
 I’ll remember you…and the smile and the lie
 ‘Cause you’re just another vehicle goin’ by and by
 Yeah, just another vehicle goin’ by and by
 You hold me… You kiss me
 You give me a ride
 Maybe some day…maybe some way
 We may collide.
 "Vehicles" was written by Randolph Randy Camp specifically for the character ‘Teki’ in his novel ‘29 Dimes: A Love Story’


'Vehicles' is about people who pretend to love and care about you only to get to where they're going. In '29 Dimes', the character Teki is confronting this issue with her brother Vince and somewhat with her classmate Kalib. - R. Camp

 One of my goals as an author is to hopefully inspire others, especially young people. Whenever I give a Book Talk at a high school I always try to end the session with a few helpful writing tips, and one of my main pointers I make is telling the students to practice DESCRIBING mundane things and objects as they go through their daily routine. For example, as you walk pass the street poles and lamp posts in your neighborhood think about the different words or phrases in which you could use to describe one of them, especially the wooden ones. It’s somewhat easy to write a description of a car (red, dents, ect.), but I like to get the students to practice on more mundane things because you can surprise yourself sometimes by coming up with an unusual or unique word or phrase that’s rarely heard or seen in print. The use of these interesting-but-different adjectives will make your story stand out and give you your unique voice as a writer. To give you a hint in describing the mundane street pole, just take a closer look and see if there are any rusty nails or staples still protruding along the side or if there are any weathered pieces left from an old yard sale sign. And remember, to become an author you must write, write, and write! – R. Camp

 

 

Randolph Randy Camp, author of the screenplays TONY'S BIKE, THE LEGEND OF THREE TREES, NEW K.A.N.S.A.S. and four novels, was born on March 12, 1961. He was raised in rural Spotsylvania County, Virginia.  Growing up in an impoverished household, Randy's somewhat bleak childhood was made a little brighter through his desire and efforts to excel in school. Going to school, Randy embraced education and every aspect of his drama and language arts classes. Eventually, Randy learned to use his strong imagination as a distraction from his sometimes dismal surroundings. Soon, Randy developed a true love for storytelling and writing. Creating colorful characters and writing stories became a welcomed and much-needed escape from the periodic harsh realities of his childhood. Currently, Randy resides in Buffalo, New York. Randy has five daughters, Natasha, Christina, Melinda, Randie, Ranielle, and one son Joshua. Randy has penned several screenplays and novels. All of Randy's literary writings are registered with the Writers Guild of America and/or copyrighted with the Library of Congress, at the US Copyright Office in Washington, DC.  *Look for Randy's "WET MATCHES: A NOVEL" in print or the ebook version, on Amazon.  Without being preachy-but-entertaining, 'Wet Matches' takes a fresh contemporary look at America's ever-growing youth runaway and teen homeless problems. 

One summer. Seven hearts. 29 Dimes. It wasn’t your typical LA summer. No one could’ve predicted what happened that day in Silver Lake. It was a summer of passion, confusion, and growth.

                                                     One hot, crazy summer.

                                                      Seven hungry hearts.

                                                     29 Dimes.

Award-winning, prolific writer Randolph Randy Camp creates a moving, tender love story amid a wild, crazy summer as Teki, Ronnie, Pepe, Brittany, Kalib, Tip, and Valerie each will have an experience that will forever shape and change their young lives.

Valerie has the kind of natural beauty that belongs on magazine covers. All the guys in Silver Lake dream about her. One guy will get lucky this summer and win her heart.

A gifted storyteller, Randolph Randy Camp offers the reader a realistic glimpse of the Los Angeles community of Silver Lake. If you still believe that love can happen to the most unlikely people and love still can be found in the most unusual place, then Randolph Randy Camp’s ’29 Dimes: A Love Story’ is certainly a must-read for you. 

                                       One Summer. Seven Hearts. 29 Dimes.
