Allan Chapman is the author of several fiction and travel pieces. The fiction stories are Thrillers and Children's Shorts.
The Palio Horse Race in Siena, Italy is an 800 year-old grudge match. Our tour covered Cinque Terre, Portofino, Florence, Lucca, Puccini's Birth Place, Etruscan Cities and Tombs, and Italian Marble Stone Quarries. We walked and hiked every day which was an excellent cross-training program enabling me to stay conditioned while recovering from running injuries. I also continued doing my daily positive affirmations to strengthen my mental attitude toward running and overcoming obstacles.

I have been running, writing, and traveling for decades. I have concluded that everything worthwhile takes regular effort over a long period of time. This way, you avoid most injuries, burnout, writer's block, and boredom. Running and writing are still joyous, particularly when you overcome the considerations (excuses) that try to stop you from putting one foot in front of the other and writing the first words. I think Kids and Family will find value in reading my Blog and listening to the free podcasts of my Children's Magical Fantasies as well as my Thriller.

Welcome to Episode 1 of Mr. Wugidgem And The Phoenix Journey. I wrote the original version in 2010 and podcasted it at that time. I didn’t publish it then; I think somehow I did not think it was the whole story. A few months ago I realized there was more to the story, so I began rewriting and expanding the original. It is now almost twice as long.Today fraternal twins, Debby and Michael, spot a pair of Mamos, which are supposedly extinct birds, in their back yard. At the suggestion of their mother, they seek out their friend, Mr. Wugidgem, at his magic shop. He is very interested, but is preoccupied by the urgent request from one of his old Native American friends to help a lost girl in his tribe. Michael, Debby, and Mr. Wugidgem journey to the Phoenix Nation Reservation to lend aid. Enjoy!
