Born and raised in L.A., it didn’t take much to convince my wife and I to leave the smog, traffic and dead bolts of Southern California and head for a new life in The Big Sky Country — Montana.
We were a little concerned when we first arrived in Billings and saw a pickup with a rifle in the back window and a bumper sticker that read
Keep Montana Beautiful
Shoot an Out-of-Stater
Fortunately we haven’t had to use our finely honed bullet-dodging skills. Instead we found Montana to be filled with great people and awesome scenery.
Montana has been and continues to be a great adventure for us. God has blessed us in many ways — six beautiful children and many wonderful friends. It’s also a great place to be a writer.
But I don’t recommend it for anyone else. Stay where you are in your concrete jungles. Suck in that air that you can see before you breathe. Buy deadbolts for your doors. Maybe even pick up a guard dog.
Remember, if you come up here, I know a guy in Billings …

“The Harvest” by Clint Morey paints a picture of a very different future America: one in which synthetic humans are cultivated on remote, highly secretive, and extremely well-secured facilities to serve as organ transplant donors. Legally designated as non-human, the so-called mutants have no rights, and are looked upon with general disdain by the populace at large, even though their appearance is indistinguishable from “real” humans. In many ways this book brings to mind Hitler’s legal maneuverings to declare Jewish people as non-humans; they, too, were looked upon with general disdain by the populace at large during the pre-WWII era. Indoctrinated from “birth” to believe that they exist solely to provide a service to humans, that humans love them, and that they should love humans, a mutant was never expected to develop independent thoughts of freedom. It was inconceivable that mutants might rebel, kill humans, and escape throughout the country to blend in with “real” humans. It was impossible that mutants would kill humans whenever, wherever or however the opportunity might arise. With all the redundant security precautions in place, such a thing could never happen, could it?
“The Harvest” is one of those books that have to be read in a single sitting. You simply cannot put it down to resume reading later. It is one of those books that contain just a nugget of potential reality; enough potential that it is scarier than a whole gang of zombies pounding at your door. No far-fetched alien, monster, demon, or other creature of dark imaginings have the capacity to terrify as much as the possibility of this scenario playing out in real life. If your nerves can handle it, I strongly recommend reading “The Harvest” by Clint Morey.
