A free story for the millions

I threw some bait in the water tonight.

I uploaded my short story “Momma Knows Best” onto www.scribd.com. We’ll see what comes of it.

My hope is people enjoy the story, which is short and fast paced, and fall head over heels for me as a writer.

Then buy the books teased at the end of the story. : )

Silly plan, I know. But stranger things have happened. Here’s the link if you haven’t read the story before: http://www.scribd.com/doc/119734158/Momma-Knows-Best (Or if you want to share it. You want to share it, right? Nod your head now… And no, I’m not standing closer or balling up my fists in a threatening manner…)

Note: It has profanity and violence in it. If that bothers you, don’t read it. And then go ahead and talk about me behind my back. I know your kind. Think and say what you want!

P.S. Please accept the greatest gift I can give, a book I believe to be worth $10,000.

P.P.S. Thanks to all who continue to make my novels a success. I seriously couldn’t have done it with everyone’s support. I’m excited to say that Little Man, and the Dixon County War has gone as high as No. 16 on the Amazon UK Paid List (see here and here). My second novel, Sold Out, has also done well, also, going as high as No. 81 on the Amazon Paid List for the category of War (see here and here). Learn more about both books here.

  Thanks, EF! And I didn’t even know you had a sister. Someone hasn’t done a good enough job talking about themselves!

    She’s my only sibling and is 6 1/2 years younger. She lives in Virginia and was out here for a visit last month.

        You and D are most welcome to visit, but I’m here for only another year or so and then going to NH.
