Now that's a deal I might do, if these are not short little pithy pieces. (Am I the only one who is amused by authors/publishers calling an itty-bitty 20-page short story a book? Don't get me started.....Where's Fredric Brown when we need him, who was able to SUCCESSFULLY write about an author who finally wrote the ultimate story - it had only one word.)

ADDED: Unfortunately, when joining you become a member of the "Delayed Gratification" school - which means that one book is immediately available, and then another one in 6 months and the final one in 12 months. (I might be dead in 12 months or need a haircut....or both. However, if one of these authors writes about a dead man needing a haircut, then I would join and read it out of curiosity....but not if I'm dead!)

DOUBLE-ADDED: No soup for you! (Not you, NightBird; you clue me in to a lot of bargains.) I mean the publisher: No soup for you!

“How to Write the First 3 Paragraphs of YOUR Indie Novel” - by Max Waxwelp
1) Always write 3 sentences of exposition; 2) now create some dialogue, preferably no more than 2 sentences; and 3) make certain the dialogue is either inane or humorous. Example:
“Bob, I did not know you wore yellow suspenders,” Sally remarked.
“Gee, Sally, those are not suspenders. I am wearing yellow underwear today,” Bob revealed.
The dialogue above will help produce at least 100 more pages of dialogue.
