#SampleSunday

Sample Sunday is where you post examples of your work on a website or blog, and then use the hashtag #SampleSunday in a Tweet. And obviously, use any and all other media to spread the word.

I love doing this. It excites me to be able to share some of my short story and flash fiction writing.

Anyway, everything is over on my Wordpress blog:

I hope you enjoy reading it, and please bookmark my Wordpress blog.

Thank you.

New writing

After spending some time on the production and marketing side of my writing, and enjoying a fairly quiet Christmas with family, it's time to write again. In the Brave New World of Kindle (BNWoK), the traditional restrictions on size of novel have all but disappeared.

It seems the Kindle could open up as a market for novellas, where the traditional pricing constraints of tree books don't apply. It's features my series character as police detective, investigating a murder on the British coast. As written, it came out at about 25,000 words. So far, I've stuck pretty much to the original pacing, but when it's rewritten, I'll look at how it reads to see if it needs more or less, or should stay the same.
