Howdy!
This week I answer a whole bunch of questions from a listener which ultimately leads to my thoughts on failure as a writer. I also rant about public education and how teachers get the shaft because I can’t help myself. Oh, and this week the coffee is warm! WARM!
Enjoy!

Well, here we are again, folks. Another Friday, another Party, another free Drabble! Bam!
Hey, you know what else is free? Z-Burbia!
That’s right, the first book in my hit zombie apocalypse series is free for your Kindle pleasure.
You should get to the clicking and the clacking and magically teleport that book from Amazon’s kindle servers to your ebook device.
DO IT!
Ooh, ooh, and Fighting Iron is rocking up the charts!
You should totally get that!
Totally!
Now, how about some free micro-fiction? A gift of 100 words from me to you.

A Broken Wheel
By
Jake Bible
The desk chair had a broken wheel. Three perfectly good ones, but one that refused to do its job and get Vivian from one side of her office to the other.
She was going to be pissed if she died because of a broken wheel.
Vivian strained against the duct tape, but it was duct tape. She pushed her feet down to keep the broken wheel elevated. If she could get to her desk phone then she had a chance.
The office door opened behind her and her chance slipped away. Just like that. All because of a broken wheel.

Cheers!
Disclaimer: Duct tape always wins.
That is correct, folks, there is a new release by yours truly (that’s me)!
Let me introduce to you: Fighting Iron!
The Bloody Conflict is long over. The lands are now controlled by despots, crooked cattle barons, energy hoarders, and anyone with enough might to keep the local folks under control.
For Clay MacAulay, none of that matters as he roams the land in a war machine from a time gone by. He wants nothing to do with small desert towns or brutal dictators. He only has his sights set on a new life. Unfortunately for Clay, too many ruthless people want what he has. They want the war machine he pilots. They want the battle mech that shouldn’t exist anymore.
They want his Fighting Iron.
But they will have to pry Clay’s cold, dead body out of that pilot’s seat before they can take it from him. And he plans on fighting them every massive mech step of the way!
A far-future mech western, Fighting Iron is a rip-roaring scifi adventure filled with six-shooters, plasma canons, rough and rowdy saloon brawls, showdowns, corrupt landowners, and fifty foot battle machines ready to crush everything in their path!
Get to the clicking on that pic, y’all! Time to read some badass mech fiction!
Howdy!
In this week’s episode I talk about how a lot of indie booksellers boycott CreateSpace because it’s an Amazon company. I voice my opinion on this subject and also rant a little about all the angry moms at Trader Joe’s today. Trust me, folks, they were angry. But mostly I talk about the boycott against CreateSpace.
Enjoy!

Special Edition
By
Jake Bible
“It ate the pages, Mom,” Darryl said as he held the office door closed. “It tried to eat me, but I hit it with a book.”
“What book, dear?” Mom asked, her eyes on her tablet and hand on her coffee cup. “It wasn’t one of your father’s special editions was it?”
Darryl stared at his mother, the sound of the scanner slamming itself against the office door echoing through the house.
“You can’t hear this?” Darryl asked.
“Yes, dear,” Mom replied. “Try to keep it down. It makes it hard to read my articles.”
“Yeah… Uh, sorry,” Darryl said.

Cheers!
