Well after several health issues I finally got "Tubes of Death" finished and uploaded to some outlets. I'm not putting it on B&N Nook because Nook just isn't selling enough books to warrant the work. Unless there is a big demand for it on B&N I won't put it up there, fat chance that. This latest release is a little different than my ordinary story. This one takes place in the future and tells the story of a struggle by one man and one woman to wrest control of the world back from a politically correct government that has forgotten or never knew of God. 

I had an unusual occurrence last night. I always read a chapter or two of the
Bible, depending upon their length, before going to bed. I start at Genesis and read straight through, and when I get to the end I start over with Genesis. Well, last night was Good Friday and I thought I should read the passion of Christ from the book of Matthew (my favorite version), but decided instead to stick with my routine, I'm in Psalms now. Last night when I opened my Bible I saw that I was on Psalm 22 and for those of you who aren't aquainted with that Psalm, it is the old testament version of the passion of Christ, a long time before it acutally happened. How cool is that?  What are the odds? If you have the time read Psalm 22 and you'll see what I mean, it's short.  HAPPY EASTER, tommorrow, to all!

My newest release "We're All in the Plan" is now available on Amazon for Kindle and Smashwords.com for other digital formats. It is a compilation of the free inspirational short stories I put up last year. The stories are arranged in chronological order with some updated material and the concluding, previously unpublished, episode.

The individual short stories have been unpublished and this chronological compilation with the n

Anyone who has bought digital books from the Sony eBook store for Sony eReaders be advised that Sony is closing its Canadian and U.S. eBook stores effective March 20, 2014 and all accounts will be transitioned to Kobo books along with all previously purchased content. The Sony eBook readers will still work, but I'm not sure about their being supported.

Finally! The edits are finished on "Unlikely Developments" and it is live on Smashwords.com and processing at Kobo, Nook, and Kindle. Should be up on those sites in a few days, probably as early as later tonight for Kindle since they seem to have the best and fastest system. It's getting harder and harder to beat Kindle and the Amazon system of marketing. Kindle outsells all the other outlets I use by thousands of percentage points.

I'm working on a new release which I hope will be ready before spring comes, maybe earlier. It is completed, but I am now doing the editing and that could take some time. "Unlikely Developments" is the title and I acutally wrote it quite a while ago, but just lately decided to update it and publish it. It is a contemporary romance with a few extra twists. Mike McDonald is a common laborer doing carpentry work for a rich lawyer when he runs into the lawyer's daughter and her Mercedes Benz, literally, with his old pick up truck, and the sparks begin to fly immediately and continuously.

Jimmy's Zoo is my latest free inspirational short story. The fourth of the Mike Maltby adventures.

Jimmy Peters has a heart of gold, but an IQ of only 51. He lives by himself in a one-room flat, works, eats at a diner down the street, attends church when he remembers, and lives to go to the zoo on Saturday. Satisfied with his lot in life, because he knows nothing any different, he only asks God for one thing—a chance to live outside the city where he can see animals all the time, but he is afraid God doesn’t have time for him. Then one day a longhaired, unshaven man in rumpled clothes meets him on a bus and changes his life forever.

readers.

In response to some reader comments I'm trying an experiment with a POD (print on demand) edition of The First Suitor. An Amazon subsidiary known as CreateSpace will print a copy on demand according to my specifications and sell it for $8.99 USD plus applicable tax and shipping. That's the best I can do price wise to get paperbacks back into the hands of those who still insist on paper and haven't totally adapted to the e-book age that is inevitably approaching us all. This way there's no upfront cost to me and no stockpile of books somewhere that have to be sold. If zero books sell no one is out anything and if they do sell I may put other titles into paperback using the same method. It is a lot of work to reformat the book to CreateSpace specifications and make the cover match the digital version as close as possible, which is why I'm only doing this one title for now. It is in the cover art proof stage at present, but I hope to have it available through Amazon this month. It will say Second edition, but that is only because it was assigned a new ISBN through CreateSpace with First Suitor Enterprises as publisher to distinquish it in Bowker's - Books in Print, from the edition published by Wing ePress. However, there are no substantive changes. Happy reading.

P.S. Small Town Doctor is now free on KOBO.

My newest inspirational short story is now available at Smashwords in various formats and will soon be on Kobo, Nook, Apple, and Sony. This is another of the Mike Maltby adventures. Mike finds himself in a small isolated town in Idaho. The town needs a doctor, but there's no money to be had in the small town for a doctor so far away from any hospital so one concerned resident does the only thing that will help. He prays.

This is another free inspirational short story I've just put up on several outlets via Smashwords. It is actually the first of a series of shorts, A Story for Eloise being the second of the series, but I put it up first. There are a few more in the series, but I don't have them ready to put up just yet. I'm taking a break for the summer and may start again late fall or winter.
