Volume! Volume! Volume!

My accountant will be thrilled!

Last week, I tried an experiment. In addition to my regular new 5 a.m. Story, I posted a vintage piece from the very early days of this project. That was before I had many readers, so almost nobody saw it the first time around. .

I was very pleased with the response. Because, you know, the more people I get to read a free story, well, that’s pure profit for me.

Do the math. In the early days, I had just a few followers paying me nothing. But now, I have hundreds of them. Think of it! Hundreds and thousands of readers, all paying me absolutely nothing!

Volume, volume, volume!

Anyway. Three days ago I posted another all-new new piece, Knock-Knock-Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door, and it got a great response. It will probably win awards. Today, I’m dipping into my archives to republish a story from six months ago, just a few days after my March 19 launch.

It’s called I Now Pronounce You… There is this new girl in town who meets a yokel, and decides he’s a diamond in the rough and she’s going to cut and polish the gem underneath, and they will live happily ever after.

It’s a poignant tale of young love, caramel corn and Wolfgang Puck.

And finally, I can tell you that this coming Sunday I will be posting a really, really scary Halloween story. I mean, this one is campfire scary.

Do not read it alone! And especially, do not read it in an open grave under a full moon when the vultures are migrating. Just do not do that.
