Welcome to Jumpstone

Hello. My name is Carol Fullerton-Samsel. I am the author of "The Clones of Langston," an award-winning science fiction novel. I've also published "An Artist's Path: Two Years Toward Professionalism," which details my successes and failures as I struggled to establish myself as a professional artist (now retired). I'm interested in many things, so this blog has articles on many different topics. I hope that you find the entries informative or interesting. Thank you for stopping by, and please feel free to e-mail me at jumpstone@sbcglobal.net.

Photographs of townships surrounding Cape Town May 12, 2013
In Langa Township, a well-shaded park stands between this memorial and a small elementary school. The mosaic stands in memory of children shot in the park during a peaceful protest in 1976.

Views from the top of Table Mountain in Cape Town May 6, 2013
A cable car takes visitors to the top of Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa. Our tour guide, Jeremy Poole, told us that a day as clear as this occurs perhaps five days a year.

This poem was inspired by courtyard walls edging Bourbon Street in New Orleans. The walls were topped by cemented-in broken bottles. CRYSTAL CASTLES by Carol Fullerton-Samsel The broken bottles on the wall Serve as the courtyard’s capitol. With jagged spires and splintered sides The crystal palaces divide The streets below, at which they stare, From … Contin […]

The Zebra Hack – a poem from 11th grade February 1, 2013
Another childhood writing inspired by a visit to New Orleans. THE ZEBRA HACK by Carol Fullerton-Samsel The carriage nag with chiseled frame Wears leather halters that inflame Its sculptured ribs and bony spine; Thus to its lowly task confined, The spindly mare with muscles tense Hauls tourists with indifference Along the roads that are routine … Continue rea […]

Friends – A short story written in 2005 February 1, 2013
FRIENDS When Minka accepted my invitation, I was really excited. I was tired of looking out the dorm window and watching others walk by with friends. I was tired of seeing girls group and hearing them giggle, and knowing I was not one of them. Then Minka came to our little college, and I thought … Continue reading →

White Delivery – A story written in the 10th grade February 1, 2013
White Delivery by Carol Fullerton-Samsel Clap clop. Clap clop. Thack! One of the caravan wagons struck a ridged scar in the face of the highway. An infinite line of automobiles passed the band with motorized grumbles and roars; honks and beeps. Despite these annoyances, not one horse flinched beneath its traces. They’d been passed by … Continue reading → […]

Spell Check Anywhere — useful and inexpensive January 24, 2013
While I was trying to get spell check to work in Microsoft Office 2010, I discovered a great spell-check program called Spell Check Anywhere. I like this program, because it can be used to check anything that appears on one’s computer screen. A small green button appears in the upper right-hand corner of all programs. … Continue reading →
