I’m trying something new, Kindle Vella, with episode 19: Zombie Camp.
It’s available here. The first 3 chapters are free, then you need tokens to unlock the next 3.
The first chapter became available on Mar 31, then a new chapter is released every day beginning Apr 2. So we’re up to chapter 4 now, with the last two becoming available tomorrow and Wednesday.
If you get a chance to read it, I’d love to hear your comments. Meanwhile, I guess I’d better get cracking on the next episode!
Smashwords Author Give Back is a sale Smashwords is holding to help those home bound during the COVID-19 pandemic. I only have 2 books on that platform, the very first ebook single in the Cord Wheaton Saga series, The Undead President, and the first full book in the series, Zombie Origins.

I sincerely hope you are staying safe during these trying times, and have avoided as much difficulty as possible. I appreciate all the support of my writing endeavors, and hope to come out with the next episode sometime this year.
It is amazing to see so many people helping each other, and small businesses doing what they can to support their employees. There is a lot of good going on at this time. It’s my sincere hope that even after this pandemic fades (to where we can resume somewhat normal lives) we can maintain our support for our neighbors and those less fortunate. A great society is one that places its highest values on its people. Everything else is secondary and in support of that. You may call me naive, and dreaming, but without dreams there is no growth. There is no reaching for what some would consider unattainable, until you attain it. Consider what this one man inspired.
Yes, I’ll be at the Gulfport Art Walk again this Friday night with author Bria Burton. There will be freebies as well as specials on my books and books by other offers as well in the Soul Attitude Press stable of authors. We’re located between 29th Ave S and 30th Ave S on the east side, in front of Yummy’s (or thereabouts) and across the street from Backfin Blue Cafe. Just south of Red Hot Tiki. In fact, we’re the 3rd booth in from the library on that side, so we’re up near the end!
This is a great little event with booths on both sides of the main drag down Gulfport from the library to the waterfront. They have wonderful restaurants and many small vendors like ourselves, offering a plethora of items for you.
Open from 6-10pm, if it’s not too windy it should be a lot of fun. (If it is, it will be fun AND challenging!)
I’m still working, slowly, on the next episode in the saga. But if you haven’t picked up one of the first 3 books, now would be a great time to do so.
As always, I offer anyone who’s interested a part in the story. They can appear as themselves (with whatever role they’d like – good/bad), and for those in school (and not yet adults), I will use your first name only.
Soul Attitude Press, my publisher, will be staffing the booth and also offering titles from other authors. From the funny, rascally grandpa Tic Rawghers, who’s also working on another one of his Grandpa’s Guides books, John Rehg, author of several spiritually-based books, and the aforementioned Bria Burton, also with an eclectic mix of titles.
We always have a good time at our booth. We are open to discussing whatever topics come up, from art to zombies. Hey, maybe we’ll have 5 minute windows on topics beginning with each letter of the alphabet. Interesting?
We hope to see you there! Even if it’s just to wave as you pass by, we’ll be happy to wave back.
