the Wild River Valley in western Maine, adjacent to the river. e forming of the rst original colonies into a republic was

Towns spring up as there is need, and that's how Hastings, Maine, came about ... in this case, harvesting lumber was the need. When that need is no more, people leave, buildings are torn down or moved, and the tree growth takes over where there were streets, a school, homes, stores ... but once upon a time there were families there, and A Hastings Tale is a story
about them.

About Randall Probert

Randall Probert lived and was raised in Strong, a small town in the western mountains of Maine. Six months after graduating from high school, he left the small town behind for Baltimore, Maryland, and a Marine engineering school, situated downtown near what was then called "The Block". Because of bad weather, the flight from Portland to New York was canceled and this made him late for the connecting flight to Baltimore. A young kid, alone, from the backwoods of Maine, finally found his way to Washington, D.C., and boarded a bus from there to Baltimore. After leaving the Merchant Marines, he went to an aviation school in Lexington, Massachusetts. During his interview for Maine Game Warden, he was asked, "You have gone from the high seas to the air. . .are you sure you want to be a game warden?" Mr. Probert retired from Warden Service in 1997 and started writing historical novels about the history in the areas where he patrolled as a game warden, with his own experiences as a game warden as those of the wardens in his books. Mr. Probert has since expanded his purview and has written two science fiction books, Paradigm and Paradigm II, and has written two mystical adventures, An Esoteric Journey, and Ekani's Journey.
