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!

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!

Well, hello there!
Back for more free fiction, I see. Good for you. Good for you.
But, and you knew this was coming, before we get to the micro-fiction, how about I shout from the rooftops about Salvage Merc One. Can you dig it? I knew that you could!
As of this typing (7:50am EST, Friday, January 29th) Salvage Merc One is on the following charts:
That’s pretty freaking suuuuuuwheeeeet!
Thanks to everyone that has been buying and supporting this hell of a fun space marine adventure. Y’all rock!
Wha
t is Salvage Merc One? I’m glad you asked!
Joseph Laribeau was born to be a Marine in the Galactic Fleet. He was born to fight the alien enemies known as the Skrang Alliance and travel the galaxy doing his duty as a Marine Sergeant. He loved the life. But when the War ended and Joe found himself medically discharged, the best job ever was over and he never thought he’d find his way again.
Then a beautiful alien walked into his life and offered him a chance at something even greater than the Fleet, a chance to serve with the Salvage Merc Corp.
Now known as Salvage Merc One Eighty-Four, Joe Laribeau is given the ultimate assignment by the SMC bosses. To his surprise it is neither a military nor a corporate salvage. Rather, Joe has to risk his life for one of his own. He has to find and bring back the legend that started the Corp.
He must find Salvage Merc One.
Pretty groovy, yes? Yes! So go all clickety clickety on that cover and get you some Salvage Merc One!
Now on to the drabble!
Enjoy!

Only Other Person
By
Jake Bible
The eyes were nothing short of spectacular. Lawrence could feel their power. He knew that all he had to do was free the god and that power was his.
Lawrence stepped forward and raised his hands
“Oh, great and powerful Hebatesia!” Lawrence shouted in the dust-filled catacomb. “I have brought you a sacrifice! His blood will be my gift to you! It will free you from your ten thousand year imprisonment!”
Mike frowned and looked about the catacomb as he set Lawrence’s gear down.
“Uh… Did you say sacrifice?” Mike asked, realizing he was the only other person there.
