Nothing as great as a book or novel coming out, but I wanted to present to all my newest 1000-word story: "A matter of revenge."

Direct link in the forum: HERE

 

Great books Gentalman, I have all three and read them already.

 

Awesome Snowleopard, I enjoyed it!

I've got yours too!

 

Now I feel awesome.

People here and elsewhere have made me feel so humbled and elated on the same day.

TY.

 

so, wazzat mean?

 

Don't know. Someone gave away over 3,000 books and sold 9?

 

The first number is its ranking on their best seller's list. Now considering I have seen books on the list ranked over 1,000,000th place around 3,000th place feels really good.

The second number is the books rank in its genre.

 

Your numbers are very impressive. Although I'm not surprised, you have an amazing ability to tell a story. When my next vacation comes, I will definitely be reading one of your books, and maybe more!

 

TY. My first three books are doing well and I hope to have "Mouse" out for a November release.

 

I turned my newest book, "Saving Mouse", over to my publisher on Friday, September 4th. He is trying to get it out for sale by the 9th.

 

Good fortune Broot, I hope it turns into a success from the start for you.

Who knows, maybe you will soon have someone from Hollywood wanting to make a movie series out of them?

 

Thought to toot my own whistle a bit with two short stories:

1000-word: Maria and Diego

And another:

1000-word: Naomi and midsummer's eve

If you would like a nice little scare with a twist, come have a howling good time with...

1000-word: Of Wolves

Be sure to check out the other stories, some of them are really explosive, in more ways than one.:excited:

 

Why not :excited:

They are making 50 Shades of Grey into a movie.

 

"Saving Mouse" has an official release date of Oct, 11th.

However it is currently available through smashwords. Just search for "Saving Mouse".

 

Congrat's Broot - let us know when it is to be released as a film entitled:

"Saving 50 shades of a gray mouse..."

 

I hope people don't think it is a book about rescuing Disney from bankruptcy.

 

or worse yet, a tale or Fafhrd's friend

 

It's almost Halloween again, surely someone is in the mood for a ghost story?

From "The Banshee":


Adrian almost walked into the fencepost. The post was all that was left to mark where a fence must once have surrounded the old graveyard. Though it was dark, Adrian could just make out the markers, as crooked in the ground as that post, leaning this way and that. Nothing, it seemed, could stand up straight in this place. Many of the graves were unmarked, just heaps of earth increasingly hard to distinguish as the shrubs and weeds crept in. Most of these, he knew, were those who had died in the first winter here, the Williamses and Brightlies and Campbells from the Old Country.

There were no ghosts in the graveyard tonight, as far as he could see. He'd collect his bounty and be gone, then. Forcing his feet to move, he passed the crooked fencepost and tramped between the overgrown plots. Many of them were small. He remembered that white lights called ghost candles are supposed to appear above the graves of children. He walked a little faster.

There, in the grass, near a grave with a rare stone marker, a patch of the white flowers bobbed in the night breeze. Bloodwort, they were called. An ugly name for such a pretty little blossom, though Adrian knew it was because the juice in the stem was red as blood. It was too cold and too late in the season for such blossoms, but here they were anyway, as they always were.

Adrian's fingers stopped a few inches from the flowers and he glanced at the headstone. He couldn't make out the name on it. Was it right to take flowers off of a grave, even if they'd only grown here by themselves? He'd come all this way, and without them he'd have no way of proving it...

And then he heard it: a low, plaintive cry on the wind. He'd mistaken it for an owl's shriek before, but now there was no taking it for anything but a woman's sobbing voice. And a moment later Adrian realized the truth: It wasn't a natural woman at all.

He turned, he ran, he stumbled and fell and stood and ran again. Let Connor or Abigael or anyone else call him a coward if they wanted to. Some things were simply not worth being brave over.
