2-Sentence Story

Martyn Halm tossed out the challenge to create a 2-sentence short story over on Goodreads.  Here was my answer to the challenge.  Hope you enjoy.

 

Sarah was feeling around for the spoon that had slipped down into the garbage disposal when something cold, wet, and rather spongy brushed against her hand. Before she could react, icy fingers had enclosed her wrist, and a low chortle bubbled up from the drain.

Read an Ebook Week

Repetition now at Smashwords and B&N

Repetition is now available to read on your non-Kindle devices.  Nook owners can head over to Barnes & Noble to pick up a copy.  Everybody else (including the Kindle and Nook people) can get the format they need at Smashwords.  Still just 99 cents!

Repetition

Repetition is available now in ebook.  Launch price is 99 cents.  As with Derrick the Dog , this will be exclusive to Amazon for 90 days.  Unlike Derrick the Dog, this will be ebook only.  Paper lovers can expect it to show up in a collection in paper later on (sorry, at roughly 46 pages, it’s just too short to justify a stand-alone paper copy).
To sample, buy, or borrow (for Prime members) click the cover below.

Thanks to Victoria for helping me get the words right, Karri f...

Another Blog

Do I really need another blog?  I think maybe yes. 

I have my main site/blog.  There, I talk about all the work I'm doing, plus writing, art, publishing, etc.  It's very generalized.

Then, I have my kid-specific blog.  I only talk about the children's books there.  No links to social media or sales info.  And at some point, I plan to add more content there, like coloring pages, etc..  If only there were more hours in the day.  Sigh.

So, do I need a ho...
