New serialized novels this month.

I have finally found the time and energy to begin my novels this month. I will begin by writing a chapter each day and publish them as a blog entry so they are DTS (date-time stamped) to prove I wrote them and published them here. Depending on the interest, I will further draw them into a eNovel via Acrobat (PDF) so you can take them with you.

Take care, and come back soon for the first chapter of my first eNovel:

"His Granddaughter."

A story about a widower, gruff and alone, that is suddenly given the care of his 5 year old grand daughter due to son and daughter-in-law untimely deaths in a terrorist attack on the hospital where they both worked. At first he resists the love his grand daughter shows him, but then falls for her loving and warm nature. All is well until at 9, she is taken from him by the Department of Child Protective Services when a jealous neighbor makes an unfounded accusation to the government. The rest of the story is how he spends his time and effort to track down his grand daughter through uncaring government workers, disinterested foster parents, and events that seem destined to keep them apart. The ending is such a twist that it cause readers to weep, laugh, get angry and cheer all at the same time.

New novellas coming

Since a novella is longer than a novelette, but shorter than a novel, I will be posting some novellas most likely over the coming weeks. I will likely post them in a serial mode with a chapter coming in about every other day or so.

The novellas will probably deal with current events with names changed to protect the guilty ;-)

Coming back soon.

Welcome to My eNovels!

"It was a dark and stormy....." Sorry, had to do that joke at least once ;-) Anyway, I have established this eNovel blog as my "spit in the wind" against the current control wielded by the New York publishing houses over what is and is not published.

You may think that I am a frustrated, non-published author with a history of rejection letters; however, you would be mistaken since I have never submitted anything to the established players since I do not consider their ideas of much concern. The same goes for critics since mostly what they like, I find tedious, and what they dislike, I find rousing.

I simply found the idea of circumvention quite refreshing and exciting; emotions that are in short supply in this swirl of politics, terrorism, and trade-wars. The gentle art of writing seems to have fallen on deaf ears at most high schools and colleges where as a university professor, I found the ability of most students to put two coherent sentences together a task of near impossibility. Email jargon has replaced Generation X's need to use language to move or persuade. Oh, sorry, my age and perspective is showing again.

Please drop by when you have nothing to do, or just want to read something that will possibly tickle your funny bone or cause to you to curse me with loud, colorful expletives. Feel free to add your comments, musings or flames since in my many years on this planet, I have grown a signficant layer of leathery outer skin to most things sent my way. I simply ask that you be civil in your outpourings. This world would be a much better place regardless of one's views if we could just learn to be civil to each other.

Again, thank you stopping by, and let's begin...
