Ultimately the goal of every writer is to reach their audience, to have someone read and enjoy their work. It would also be nice to make some money for the sale as well, but as an independent writer that's a tough road.
I really want to reach my audience and in order to to so I'm now offering my short story - MR. JABLOWSKI'S TREASURE as a free download. If you enjoy the story, please leave comments or write a brief review.

Here's a brief synopsis:
There’s always something interesting and exciting happening when you’re thirteen and summer vacation has just begun. In the summer of 1966 a young boy is having the summer of his life, riding his bike, playing baseball and having fun by tempting the wrath of the nasty old man that lives nearby. But things get much more exciting when he discovers an amazing treasure - which he carefully keeps to himself, until he runs afoul of the local school bully. However, the secret escapes and ultimately leads to unexpected consequences. Mr. Jablowski’s Treasure is a coming of age story in the tradition of such childhood classics as STAND BY ME, THE SANDLOT AND THE PIG MAN

DAMN I WISH I WROTE THAT - Part Two - Books
DAMN I WISH I WROTE THAT
Part Two - Books
In part one of - DAMN I WISH I WROTE THAT - I listed some of
what in my opinion are the best TV shows or films that I've ever seen.
First I have to thank DJ - Jim Mitchell from Q107 for the
idea for this blog post. Kim regularly has a spot on his radio show where he
will play a song that he wishes he had written; therefore this blog is
dedicated to things I wish I had written.
These are all pieces of writing that are just damn exquisite, eloquent
and intriguing. As musicians are inspired by other musicians, these are the books
that inspire me.
