Free Short Story - Emily Smiles for April

Emily Smiles for April by Jay Nichols




My new short story, Emily Smiles for April, will be free for download on Amazon Kindle today and tomorrow (4/29-4/30). It’s a young adult/chick lit story, but the themes are universal. Anybody can read it. No, scratch that. Everybody should read it.

http://www.amazon.com/Emily-Smiles-fo...

Here’s the breakdown:

Emily receives a bouquet of violets for her sixteenth birthday. She thinks they remain in a vase on her nightstand, but they keep showing up in the most unusual places.

In a perfect world, this mysterious phenomenon would elicit a bewildered smile from Emily, but Emily doesn’t doesn’t smile much anymore. Then again, Emily’s world is far from perfect.

Free Short Story - Monkey Bars

If you're in the mood for a free short story this weekend (4/27-4/28), come get one here:

http://www.amazon.com/Monkey-Bars-ebo...

On the precipice between salvation and ruin, an unnamed man sits alone in a parked car, waiting for something to happen. Reminiscing about the good old days can only take him so far. It's up to him - and only him - to choose his fate.

As always, reviews are appreciated.

Trawling for Reviews - "Monkey Bars" Edition

If you want a free Kindle short story, you can get one here:

http://www.amazon.com/Monkey-Bars-Jay...

It may depress you, it may shock you; you may not even care!

Basically, I'm trawling for reviews (for here and amazon), so do your patriotic duty: read my story and write a review! (Come on, I know you've read and rated worse books on this site. How else do all the other no-name authors get hundreds of reviews?)
