Served Cold: Tales of Revenge and Redemption (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

I wrote these stories (with the exception of one) during the spring and summer of 2011. An incident triggered this outpouring, and the theme of revenge and redemption emerged. If you've ever wanted a character in a story or novel to get even, read on. These seven stories focus on people (and one dog) who strike back.

Read about a dog trapped in a hot truck rescued by a group of "compassionists" who give his master a taste of his own medicine; a woman who blackmails a couple to cash in on their lottery fortune; a sheltered college student who steps outside her comfort zone to get her photos back; a girl who writes a diary which causes horrible things to happen; a nasty remark leads to the suicide of the woman who uttered it; a planned murder during a hunting accident goes horribly wrong, and a woman who dies and goes to Hell can earn her way to Heaven--if she works retail.

Autorenporträt

After years of wondering if I was ever going to be published, it's going to happen. Granted, it's not a paper book, and you can't sign an e-book, but this is way better than trying to find a traditional publisher, and more than likely, getting turned down.

I write in a variety of styles, and this first collection of short stories has a paranormal tale, but most of them center around revenge, or redemption. Some of these stories are semi-autobiographical; certain events and people triggered the urge to write. I changed names and details to protect the guilty.

I've written in some way, shape, or form for the past 19 years. I started out as an associate editor for a small Indiana twice-weekly newspaper, then, full of myself and my abilities, assumed one of the local papers would hire me. They didn't. I did freelance for an assortment of local publications, and continue to write a humor/general interest column for the Fort Wayne Reader.

I am also working on a novel, and plan to write and publish erotic fiction under a pen name.

I'd like to thank the hundreds of anonymous readers who first checked out my short story excerpts on www.short-fiction.co.uk. I'd also like to thank acquaintances and co-workers who read my stories and offered feedback. I have no editor, no proofreader or marketing person, so I am doing it all myself, except for the cover art.

I hope this works out for me. E-publishing may give me that nudge I need to really write.
