“I Guarantee” and other news

January 9th, 2012  |  Published in announcement, Fiction

In December, I decided to take part of the Reddit Fantasy Writers December Writing Challenge (which was to start a short story with the line: “I guarantee you won’t find the same quality for a cheaper price,” the merchant insisted.). All was going well, I had an idea, and finished a first draft by the sixteenth, but then forgot all about it and missed the deadline for submission. In any case, I went ahead and revised it this morning and have posted it. It’s only about 1250 words, so it shouldn’t take long to read. Enjoy!

In other news, I hope to make some more progress on restoring this site tomorrow and Wednesday, focusing on redoing the sidebar and fixing the RSS links (I try to run everything through my feedburner feed). In addition, I plan on fixing the Soapbox page so that it once again has the complete story.

Reddit Love

January 28th, 2011  |  Published in announcement

Hey Redditors, I noticed an unusual number of people coming here from Reddit the other day, and lo and behold someone had submitted Drones to the scifi subreddit.  If you liked Drones, the closest story to that is Try Not To Panic, which also happens to be the only story on this site that isn’t free, making me sound like kind of a bastard.

To make me feel better about myself, have some short story love.  Go read the excerpt, and if you like it, head over to smashwords and pick it up for free (coupon code YT48N).  If you really love it, you can always buy it. Or if you really love it, but are broke, you can leave a review.

Thanks!
