Two Tales and 4150 words

The new first draft is done, two days ahead of deadline. I wrote about 900 words last night after work, then finished it off this morning with about another 1100 for a total of 4150 words. Now I only have 4 short stories left to write by the end of the year before I'm all out of short stories. Surely more will come up, but for the current list of titles I've been chipping away at since 1992 there are only 4 short story titles left.

Today's chapbook is one of my favorites. Two Tales features "In the Town of Broken Dreams" and "Angels of No Mercy". Both stories are about angels and both stories are, in my opinion, pretty good. In fact, I like both stories so much, and equally, it was impossible for me to pick just one as the feature story and relegate the other to backup story. So they're both feature stories. Although "In the Town of Broken Dreams" comes first. "In the Town of Broken Dreams" was written from the Ricky Nelson song "Lonesome Town" while "Angels of No Mercy" was written for a war anthology. It didn't make the cut, but both were then published in Terrible Thrills, so it's cool.

This chapbook is 30 pages, and is available in print or ebook formats. Print is $4.99, ebook is $2.99.

Here's the original ebook cover. I include it here because I always liked how it turned out. It was probably the first ebook cover I did that I thought looked like an actual chapbook cover.
