Guest Post - Where Oh Where Have All The Books Gone by Aaron Patterson

Books. eBooks. Audio Books.

I love books, or shall I say I love stories. I used to read three books a day when I was a kid. I love the stories, the danger, the exciting places I can go in a book. But what of the paper, the sound, the smell of a book? What is going to happen to books with the digital revolution?

I ask this with a smile and a heavy heart. I know where it is going and part of me

This is a collection of 8 shorts (hence, the title) that have appeared as part of Friday Flash when I participated in that last year and also a new, previously unreleased short story, Grenades. Along with each

How To Balance Your Writing Schedule

That means I'm up at 5 AM and if I'm lucky at school by 7 AM, which usually means 7:10 or so. School lasts from 7:30-2:45. I usually make it home (due to lovely construction and after picking up my daughter)
