AUTHOR RANDY CAMP VISITS CNA STUDENTS IN NEW YORK, DEC. 2013
On Monday, December 16th, author Randolph Randy Camp met with the sophomore Certified Nursing Assistant students from East High to discuss one of his novels, Wet Matches, that the students read. The students relished the opportunity to actually meet and discuss his work.
Wet Matches is a metaphoric story loaded with highly engaging characters who consistently demonstrate empathy as they mature and move beyond severe barriers in their life to become healed contributors to society. Mr. Camp shared his personal story of growing up in the segregated South and how his experience, and a song that he wrote as a teenager, became the plot of his book. Students were spellbound as he discussed the process of writing and publishing a book.
Mr. Camp recently had his third book, Twenty-nine Dimes, a Love Story, published, and his sequel to Wet Matches is in the final editing stages. - (Mr. Tim Wagner, Instructor-Teacher)

During December 2007, 'WET MATCHES' was a Quarter-Prize Winner of The Writer's Network 14th Annual Screenplay & Fiction Competition. 'WET MATCHES' is an uplifting story about five free-spirited homeless teens (all HIV positive) getting a second chance at a better life when a couple on a high school reunion trip rescues them and takes them back to sunny California with a promise of a fresh start. Although the story centers around the five colorful teens (Robbie, Josie, Micky, Shelly and Cole), the real juice of this inspiring tale is the friendship between the adults (Jalan, Crystal and Jack)...Randy is quoted as saying that his 'Wet Matches' is truly about friendships and the length we sometimes are willing to go for a friend...In 'Wet Matches', the length of how far Crystal went for her friend Jalan will absolutely blow your mind and make you think about your own relationships and friendships.
