Not So Inconvenient
What started as a simple short story with a character that could annoy and amuse, has now become something I never expected.
The stories of Ron Ungary kept popping up, becoming more exaggerated and outlandish. Imagine my pleasant surprise when my publisher wanted to put them all together in a paperback.
I had a great time basically torturing this poor guy that only wanted to be left alone. His best friends constantly tried to set him up on blind dates. His inventions never worked quite the way he expected. Then he became the target of an intergalactic invasion.
I would sure appreciate it if you decide to pick up a copy of the book. You might be curious why Ron's life was so...Inconvenient.

Start at the End
I'm staring at a lot of white space. Nice fresh, new blog. I'm ready to write the first post and don't quite know what to say.
I might let my fingers do the talking. They start skipping over the keyboard and suddenly the white space is filled with these patterns that our brains turn into words.
That's better. I'm feeling it now.
I signed in with the intention of telling you about my new story. It's the end of a story, actually. I came up with this character, Ron Ungary. He's not a bad guy, but not totally likable either. He's smart and a little anti-social. Then I put him through some absurd situations and I had fun doing it.
What I ended up with were the Ron Ungary Inconveniences. The last one in the short series is entitled "The Day After Never". You can see it here on Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EMNDQ2U
Now, I'm not nearly as smart as Ron, so my science may be a little soft. For fun, I tried to cram in as many different things as I could. I think it ended the only way it could have: far-fetched and over the top.
Please chime in here on the comments. Let me know what you thought of the tale. You might want to start at the beginning with "Theoretical Fishsticks". The second part is "Viking Werewolves from Mars", followed by "Waspider".
Or you could always start at the end.
