My seventh flash fiction horror story, "Sluagh", is ready for a FREE download at Smashwords.com!  (And if you're wondering, it's pronounced sloo-ah...I think)

"Close your eyes tight, 'till come light of day...if sleep you do not, Sluagh shall steal you away..."

As of a few seconds ago, if my cipherin' is correct, my six flash fiction horror stories just hit a combined 400 downloads on Smashwords.com!  Woo hoo!

These little stories are awfully fun to write...I wish the story ideas would pop into my cranium before 9 P.M. though, so I could go to bed at a reasonable hour instead of dorking-around with my laptop until 2 A.M. ...

5-Star Review for "Feed the Bear"!

My second attempt at flash fiction--"Feed the Bear"--garnered a nice review AND a sale of THE MENGELE EFFECT!

5 STARS by Ruth Ann Nordin: "Very cool twist. I can't say what happens without spoiling it, but it's definitely worth the read if you like thriller or horror. In case anyone wonders if a short story can intrigue someone enough to buy a full-length novel, I'm on my way to buy The Mengele Effect by this author."

I have a strange feeling I'm going to write MORE flash fiction!

"Feed the Bear" - Flash Fiction Horror!

My second flash fiction horror story, "Feed the Bear", is now available at Smashwords.com!

"Ripple" 4 & 5-star Reviews!

My first attempt at flash fiction--"Ripple"--has garnered some nice reviews so far!

5 STARS from Fred Schaefer, author of  CADEN IS COMING and PICK YOUR POISON:
"A nearly perfect example of what short fiction should be...A great addition to the "evil child" genre and we should definitely see more of little Jimmy in the future."

5 STARS from James M.M. Baldwin, author of  CIVIL DISTURBANCE and DREAM HUNTERS:
"Wow.  Good one, Chuck.  What will Jimmy do next?"

4 STARS from Jennie Gaines, author of EL DIABLO and THE DEVIL AND THOMAS WRIGHT:
"Definitely disturbing!"

Thanks, guys!

Hmmm...I think I'll write another one...or two...or seven...

"Ripple" - Flash Fiction Horror

I've decided to try something different, and I hope you like it!  A flash fiction story usually runs from 100 to 1,000 words--it's short & succinct, but still retains the same elements a larger story has; a beginning, middle, end, characters, plot, maybe a hook or twist or two, and a conclusion.  I invite you to take a look at my first flash fiction story, titled "Ripple", available at Smashwords.com.

The best parts are:  1) It'll only take a minute or two to read, and 2) It's FREE!

THE COMING Back Below 100K @ Amazon!

THE COMING is # 80,546 at Amazon, as of 0400 this morning (and no, don't ask why I'm up at o-dark-thirty, because even I don't know).  Every time one of my novels goes below 100K, I do a little happy dance!  Um, except for this morning...I might wake everyone up, and that would be poor form.

Also, I just hit 70 novels sold--36 of THE COMING and 34 of THE MENGELE EFFECT!  No, that's not too many, but hey...it's 4 o'clock in the morning and everything seems important at this hour!  WOO HOO!  JUST HIT 70!  YIPPEE!

Uh oh.  Hope that wasn't too loud.
