In case you don’t know, I have a second blogspot site called Henry’s Stories<\/a>. For over a year now, I’ve been putting my stories out on that site, serialized in chunks.  There are short stories, middle-sized ones, and novels.  I’m currently in the middle of the second novel, Extreme Makeover<\/b> which starts at this page<\/a>. Of course, you could buy it on Amazon like all my other books, but here it’s free, if you don’t mind reading it a chapter at a time.<\/p>\n

The thing is…I’m getting engrossed in the story myself.  I wrote it.  I’ve been through the text over a dozen times, or more.  Preparing it for the serialization, I read through it again twice. And yet, each MWF as the next chapter comes out and it shows up in my RSS reader, I pause and read the chapter, getting caught up in the story all over again.<\/p>\n

Now, marketing is supposed to be telling everyone how great your own stuff is, but I’ve never been able to do that properly.  I was raised to be modest and avoid bragging.  It’s a hard process to get around.  I’ll just say it.  I’ve got some great stories here.  I’d prefer you go buy them all, but if you want free, I can handle that too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
