Topic: What would I like readers to take away from my
anthology
Thank you so much for inviting me to write as a guest on your
blog. I always feel bad, like I’m having an affair, when I post for someone
else because I can barely find the time to post to my own blog. I’m always so
amazed and jealous of those of you who post regularly to your blogs and twitter
accounts, lol, I can’t even remember my twitter name.
So what would I like for readers to take away from my
anthology …And They All Lived Happily Ever After? Well first and foremost I
hope readers have as much fun reading it as I did writing it. When I first
started digging up old stories from my personal archives and writing new shorts
to add to the collection I never dreamed this anthology would get this big (230
pages and a word count of over 65,000 words) but I am super happy with the way
…And They All Lived Happily Ever After! turned out.
Secondly, I hope readers will experience and enjoy is stories
that they have not read or seen before. I tend to go against the grain as far
as my writing is concerned. One recurring praise or complaint that I receive on
a pretty consistent basis is statements like: I've
never read anything like it or the word original especially with …And
They All Lived Happily Ever After!
The layout of the book is very unusual, some of the stories
unfold with the use of graphics, and there are multiple fonts throughout the
collection and…And They All Lived Happily Ever After! falls into the category
of multigenre. One reader said that if this book was art it would be considered
mixed media.
Now that I’m thinking about it, the biggest thing I have my
fingers crossed for and not just for …And They All Lived Happily Ever After!
but for all my books is that the superstitious myth that indie and self
published authors have nothing to offer the literary community will go away, or
at least slacken.
I would love it if, at the closing of this book, readers will
take with them the notion that indie authors are worth their time. Thanks again
for letting me post on your blog and for everyone who read it, thank you so
much your time. I hope you all have a super good day!
There’s
a whole host of benefits allotted to those, who, like myself, possess these
very specialized sets of skills. One of the benefits is, that afterward, you
sleep really good at night and I mean really
good. What? Well, it’s true, it’s hard to believe I know, but trust me it’s
true. Sam, my uncle, sent me to this exotic land that used to smell of
frankincense and myrrh. He sent us there, my brothers-in-arms and me, so that
we could become proficient in the art of death. We we’re good at what we did,
because now it only smells of gun powder, burnt oil, and death. That’s a
hellofa predicament you’ve found yourself in, isn’t it? Well at least now you
know I’m good with a gun and thanks to my Uncle Sam I am also very comfortable
with a blade. This ten inch beauty here is a staple, its sharp enough to be use
a machete. But this one, with the gut hook, is my all time favorite and I’ll
show you why here in a minute. Now, I can understand why you broke into my
home, these are tough times, and a guys gotta eat I get that. I do. Maybe I
would have let you live if you had simply demanded my money and jewels, but,
then again, I was never known for being charitable.
