I HAVE A NEW COLLECTION OUT:  Dragon Blood.

Sometime ago I realized I had so many short stories out that they were ‘hiding’ my novels, with the result that I was underperforming my friends with fewer works out (in indie, I have no visibility into day by day numbers in traditional, of course.) So I decided to bring them down.  It worked.  I make more on the novels now.  BUT I don’t want work sitting in the drawer, not strutting their stuff and bringing home money.  So I decided to assemble the short stories into collections.  This is the first of those.  There will be others.  Each has at least one short story I didn’t have up before.  (Though most have been published in anthologies or magazines.) So, this is the first one of those.

IT’S GOOD TO BE A CLINTON: Clinton Foundation was late to file paperwork, but got pass from AG.  Meanwhile, Hillary expresses that she is “Shocked, shocked” by Trumps reported remarks and declares him unfit to sit at the desk used by JFK, LBJ and Bill Clinton.  I don’t know if she wants him to up the philandering or what?

BUT WHO ARE ALL YOU ZOMBIES? My son and I were born from the same womb.
