Cubeland released!

Cubeland is out! Mark makes the journey from the lavish marble offices of Banker's Hall to the neo-plastic cube farm in the Scotia building. Adjusting to the cubicle and a life without walls is not the only challenge awaiting our young software developer: No monitors for you!

The Nth Reorg

I think this story is one of the most engaging so far and is definitely the most "transitional." I remember at school learning about how in Homer's The Odyssey the "descent into hell" is a technique successfully employed by many good authors.  (I particularly like Poe's story A Cask of Amontillado in this regard.)  This story is definitely an escalator trip down... nothing like going to a meeting to discover you don't do what you did anymore.

Please snag the story from Amazon, Google, or Indigo and let me know what you think! If you like it, post a review on where you got it, and if you really like it, head on over to GoodReads.com and like or review it. Thanks in advance.

Downturn and Play Nice published!

It took a little bit but "Play Nice Now" is edited and enhanced to be "Downturn" and "Play Nice." Both are published on the usual three eReaders. When I get to episode 10, I will publish the chunk of five on iTunes. The next episode, "The Nth Reorg" is almost done. Might be the most exciting yet. (Thanks for your support! Spread the word.)

Vote on a cover!

Wow.  All I can say is wow.  There are some very talented artists around the globe.  I put out a call on Fiverr for a cover given a concept illustration and some themes for the story.  I had about 40 responses.  I narrowed it down to 5, and ended up commissioning three.  Feel free to vote on which is your favorite.

Old T-Shirts

I recently retired a beloved T-shirt from the mid-90s.  You know the type - so comfortable its like a second skin.  It was swag from a storage company; I had helped test some disk drivers and so got some swag - it was an "internal" project shirt (likely not for public consumption.) It brought back a few memories, including a few years ago when I was in line at a supermarket... the lady behind me at the checkout was staring at me and I wasn't sure why.  I smiled and got no smile in response.  As the line was long enough for me to start feeling "uncomfortable", I turned around and asked "Excuse me, is there a problem?"  She didn't answer me.  It took me a few moments to realize that she was horrified by my T-shirt...  here are the pictures.
