This story was originally called "Everyone goes to Hell", and had been written for a western horror anthology. Having had it rejected from a couple of places, it sat in the pile of stories that I was going to get around to reviewing and sending out in at the start of 2012, but when I saw Paul was looking for stories, it got a wee re-work to get rid of (in hindsight) its unnecessary framing story and off it went.
Hopefully this exciting-looking collection will be out in the next few months.
So, I AM a writer again....
Of course, if I got off my lazy butt and did some more actual writing I might get to be a writer more often.
More recent news...
I have got myself a Kobo ereader, which I am enjoying and will start looking for some self-published ebooks to see what's out there.
I've also decided to post a review of every book I'm reading, this year, on Goodreads. So far so good, have managed 3 novels and 2 graphic novels.
Right now....
I'm reading - Bram Stoker's original Dracula (free ebooks are great), and very good it is too. True Grit, the novel that two films have been based on (good so far), and a compilation of Clive James's short opinion pieces - very good stuff.
Watching - excellent Battlestar Galactica re-make, better than I remember Moonraker, acceptable Doctor Who Xmas special, very good Tintin at the movies.
This blog's drabble..
Jerry, a one-percenter, looked out from his penthouse suite and regarded the rabble below. The noise disturbed him while he created wealth.
Worthie, his butler entered. “Sir, they demand your head, your bonus or more equal distribution of the wealth that they have produced for you.” He raised a big gun.
“Damn it, Worthie,” said Jerry, “take a billion dollars as a raise.”
“Very good sir,” said Worthie, “I’ll go shoot the swine, shall I?” Jerry nodded.
Worthie headed out the door with a smile and keen eye.
Jerry felt better. This wealth distribution thing was simpler than he thought.
congrats! that is awesome :-)
