Happy Birthday!

It was one year ago today (or seven in Orson time) that Tail & Trouble was officially went on sale on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and all other book selling websites.

It has been a fantastic year for this book. The story I started dreaming up while I was stuck in a traffic jam south of Myrtle Beach a few years ago finally was available to everyone. When I finished it, the good people at Red Adept Publishing took a chance on it, and I am so grateful.

The response to Tail & Trouble has been amazing, with dozens of five star reviews and thousands of copies sold. Last August, the book cracked the Amazon Top 100 - of all paid books - peaking at #88. So, for a brief shining moment I was up there with authors I admire, like Neil Gaiman and JK Rowling. It's still incredible to think about that, and I have all of the readers, reviewers and bloggers to thank for it.

So, as a thank you to all of you for making this book such a success, I'm giving you a birthday present. While I work to finish the sequel, The Winter of our Distemper - and I swear, it's almost done! - please enjoy this short story featuring Gabriel and Orson. It gives a hint as to the location of the next book, and it also celebrates one of my favorite dates that took place just a week ago., May the Fourth.

I hope you all enjoy it! It was fun to write and hopefully it will tide you over till the next book is done.

And if you've read Tail & Trouble, be sure to leave a review on your favorite review site! It really helps get the word out.

Thanks!
