New Website Look

I've tired of trying to come up with more looks for my web page. I want to get the information out to the people who want to know, but I don't want to spend so much time doing it, nor do I want to bore people to death. I miss the old days were I could hang out online with all my friends and we could talk about how things will be when we get books published and we become famous. I miss it enough that I've often considered that it would be better to return to that time, and forgo all my success, if only I can get back with my friends.

So here's the new webpage, designed for people to comment and interact with me. Don't hesitate to say something. Don't worry about bothering me. I like talking to people. I like making new friends.

Smashwords 2010

My novella Butterfly Winter is my first step into the world of eBooks. I've decided to try Smashwords, where you can purchase it in any format you desire...even tattoo, I think.

Warning...this is not a story that will make you want to run tra-la-la through the flowers singing songs about happy sunshine.

Summary: Through fields of dead flowers under a red-gray sky, the children dance, arms flapping like the wings of dying butterflies. Desperate to hearken in the city of Dali’s famed Butterfly Spring, they spin and jump as best they can, sometimes falling, sometimes staggering. No longer are they the children who rushed towards the survivors' downed plane. They are forever changed. They are undone.

At least come and check it out and see what it's all about.
