ABOUT

The Chestnut Point Stories

If you love to read or hear the English language replete with all its foibles and confoundabilities, the Chestnut Point Stories, written by Jackson Tel, are your cup of tea.

The stories are written for those who enjoy traveling back in time with a sense of humor. However, be forewarned: readers may be drawn into the land of the subconscious and the surrounding mystical realms, or they might be enticed down a rabbit hole —or two.

Readers follow the often slapstick lives of the ‘Patuxent River’ Mann family of Maryland, who first settled along the shores of that lovely river during colonial times. The characters who manage to make it all the way through to the twenty-first century are to be congratulated, as they will be on a twisty-turning-winding roller coaster ride throughout the series.

However, to those characters who stubbornly stick around as themselves, attending to unresolved issues, one can only say, “Get a new life, for God’s sake!”

And ‘Good riddance!’ to those who do something that gets them kicked out of the story series completely.

The Author

Jackson Tel is a guy with a big imagination. He writes historical fiction novels and short stories, all with a whimsical twist — sometimes tall, sometimes small — yet always full of rabbit holes and forays into the subconscious or into the surrounding mystical realms. 

He spends a great deal of time going on field trips with his navigator wife, Dalena Faith, doing historical research for the stories. The two traveling companions are required to stop at any ice cream shop they come across… It’s the law.
