Introducing "Uprising"
My new Kindle single, Uprising, is out today. It's short and sweet... well, maybe not sweet. The price is 99 cents, but it will be free for the next three days starting tomorrow. So give it a shot and tell me what you think!
Description:
At the biggest football game of the season, college students Gareth Miller, Tyson, and the hilarious Victor DeNunzio decide to play a prank on the packed stadium. When Gareth calls an audible, their plan disintegrates--or, depending how you look at it, transforms into something even more epic.

Who's Ready for the Super Bowl?
I heard some talk about a Big Game this weekend. (Yes, the B in big and G in game are capitalized, and rightly so.) If you're anything like me (and chances are you're not), then you're probably wondering, "Who cares? Isn't there a Big Game every Sunday?"
Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa.... Back it up, Junior. Beep, beep, beep. This isn't just any Big Game. It's the motherfrickin' Super Bowl! This is the game that determines the champion of football, or something.
Personally, I get all warm and fuzzy inside every time I see a rich person getting what he wants, but it is especially gratifying to witness a whole team of rich people accomplish their goal of being the best at something that, in terms of brutality, let's be honest, is one step below Thunder Dome.
But that is neither here nor there. My feelings on football aside, I wish everybody the best, from the players to the fans to the real heroes, the corporate sponsors, who do their gosh-darn best to brainwash us into buying things we'll never need.
So, I wrote a short little ditty called "Uprising" a couple of weeks ago. (How's that for a segue?) It focuses on a Big Game, but in my story, it's a college football game. If you like kids playing pranks and other shenanigans, then come check out "Uprising" this weekend, Super Bowl weekend. Did I mention it's free? Well, it is.

Free Kindle Novel - Today Only!
It's been a while since I've done this, but anyway, here's a free novel for you to read this weekend:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...
After seventeen-year-old Russell Whitford confronts and kills a rabid dog, he seeks to prevent the news from reaching the dog's owner, whose hair-trigger temper is well-known in the small town of Riley, Alabama. Russell can count on silence from two of the witnesses who watched him hack Hector Graham's Bloodhound to death, but the third, Michael O'Brien, isn't at all like the other two. His allegiance is not as fixed as Russell would like it to be.
When the Centers for Disease Control arrives in town, and dogs begin running away, and gun shots start ringing out in the dead of night, Russell's summer goes from bad to worse. All he wants is to play his piano and guitar, maybe walk his dog every now and then, not have the weight of the universe hoisted on his shoulders.
