SO… I’M THINKING OF STARTING A

Nothing too serious, of course. Just a place to hang out, talk about books, shoot the def, post questionable memes and doctored fish pictures and whatnot. I’m gonna be honest with you here. At first, most of the members will be me and my backwoods friends from back home in the north woods of America’s High Five. If you join up, you might even see some names that look coincidentally similar to a bunch of Venus Flytrap players. Not sure how that happened...

I’ll have more details for you in the next issue of The Dirt, so get to thinkin’ on whether or not you’d be interested. I know, tough decision. Take your time.

In other news, I’ve pretty much taken the whole month of January off from writing stuff. Before you get all up in arms about me not being productive, let me cut you off there and let you know I’ve spent my time wisely. Yeah, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it. Oh, how? Um, I’ve caught up on like… three, maybe four--five seasons of Gold Rush. It’s a guilty pleasure of mine. I also went ice fishing once and took a few naps.

WORLDS OF CRATERBALL

I dropped the first book in my Worlds of Craterball series, Slab Steele and the Venusian Exchange, down to 99 cents for a few weeks. Help me out and go grab a copy if you’re looking for something really stupid to read. That Scott Baron guy? The one that wrote Bad Luck Charlie and Daisy's Run? He kinda liked it, so that's gotta mean something.

THE DIRTY FREE SHORT STORY

Remember how I told you I was trying to make my updated version of The Mercurian Endeavor free on Amazon? Well, I did. At least for the US. Sorry, rest of the world. Still working on that one. Anyway, this new version is about a thousand words longer than the one you have. You know? A few more bad jokes and puns and stuff.
