"The Good Life" - short story book available on the Amazon Kindle for 99 cents

Get my first Kindle short story The Good Life now for 99 cents!

I love to write and I wrote this story about an seemingly average guy who has hit the lottery and has thirty million dollars in the bank. He spends twenty five million on charities for children.

Why does he keep four million for himself?

CHECK IT OUT!

Stupid thought of the day:
I feel a little strange that I found out Geraldine Ferraro died while in line at Roy Rogers.

Random Advice of the Day: Mexican Spices in the Grocery Store

Want some advice you probably already know, but I just found out?

Get your spices in the Mexican food section of the grocery store. We use a lot of garlic powder here at Dix Central and we accidentally found that it was way cheaper than in the overpriced spice aisle.

This isn't any kind of writing tip, it's a grocery store tip, but it's still a good one.
We bought some Ginger today that I hope to put to good use in some Teriyaki shrimp stir-fry and it was less than a buck fifty.

Bret Easton Ellis (He's been on my mind a LOT lately. I recently read Imperial Bedrooms and every time I see Charlie Sheen on TV, I can't help but think that the characters in Ellis' books are actually real. It's kind of frightening.)

BOOK UPDATE:
My novel, Bad Case is in final edit mode and should be available for the Kindle within week or two. My short story (about 2,500 words) The Good Life has just been published at Amazon. Buy it. It's only 99 cents! I'll post an entry when it's ready. The latest short story Squirrel Zombies from Hell has just started and so far it's pretty damned good.

Welcome!

You don't know me yet. I'm a new novelist and a general writer of things.

This is my blog to promote my work and I hope you enjoy it.
My novel will be finished soon, and will be available on the Kindle.

I'm a big fan of the Kindle (got one for Christmas) and am looking forward to having my first book available on it pretty soon. Just have to finish it and get a good edit on it.

Until then, keep coming back, I have a serial webcomic that I've started with J. Simmons, creator of Stupendo-Dog! and that will be a regular feature. It's real "Golden Age" hard-boiled comics stuff, so people should get a kick out of it.

Hell, I might even put up a recipe or two.
