Wow, guess I took a break from writing

Haven't checked Smashwords for awhile. The download counts are truly amazing. Thanks much for those who read my stories. There's absolutely nothing in the pipeline. I just bought all of the early books in the Archer Mayor Joe Gunther series about Joe the Vermont cop. I've read many of the later books, now I'm reading all of the early books, I'm on the 2nd book now. Regarding writing, I'm sure I'll write something else. The beginning of my last story sort of tells the tale on my writing frustration right now. Anyway, thanks again for reading my stories.

Back from cruise

Was gone on a cruise on NCL's EPIC. We went to western Caribbean. Best show on the ship was 'Howl at the Moon', a dueling piano comedy act that played 60's and 70's music.

The shoe in the bed

Perpetual Casino is getting a lot of downloads. I think the cover with the shoe in the bed is enticing some of the downloads. In a departure from my other eBook covers, the shoe in the bed actually pertains to the story. After I gave my wife a verbal synapsis of the story, she suggested that the shoe in the bed would be the perfect cover for Perpetual Casino. My wife even let me borrow one of her shoes for the photo. Now THAT's a supportive spouse, eh?

More about Perpetual Casino

Perpetual Twilight had a 2nd part, but I thought the 2nd part was sort of weak, so I just published the strong first part. Dooley was a character from material that was cut from Perpetual Twilight. The renditioners were also cut from Perpetual Twilight. I put Mike & Jake together in Perpetual Casino, so I could work in the rendition thread. Jade was also a character from material that was cut from Perpetual Twilight, but Jade never had a gun in the unpublished material. Several more downloads of Perpetual Casino today, thanks much for that.

Perpetual Casino

The new free short story is named Perpetual Casino. It's now published on Smashwords.com. Today was the first day the eShort was available for download. There were many Perpetual Casino downloads today, thanks much for that. Somebody also bought Perpetual Twilight today, a BIG thanks for that, whoever you are!

Work and new eShort

Pretty entertaining Friday at work today. Talked to several people, did some joking around. Another group in the building has balloons. I asked a girl in that group for a balloon. She brought one in the afternoon. We laughed about that. The new eShort is pretty much ready to publish, just adding a few ironic tidbits at the end. Still needs a final edit. I'm shooting for publishing on Sunday 8/22 or there abouts. This one is pretty good, I like it a lot.

River City Adventure

There is an ending for the River City Adventure. Some good stuff here. 6000 words. Todd, Flo, Lucy, Jade, and Randy return in a fun short story. Still needs a final edit, but it's looking good.
