Free Short Story - Emily Smiles for April
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.

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.

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?)

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.

My little short story is free today and tomorrow. Deciding to make Uprising free on Super Bowl weekend was a no-brainer. What better combination than America's past time (reading) and an activity many Americans don't do enough of (sitting on the couch watching sports on TV)? In the conflict resolution business, it's what we call a win-win!
