I'll take the lack of responses as a compliment. I'm optimistic that way.
In recent news, I've finished the second story now, and about to start on the third. For any who were turned off by the content of the first two, this next one is somewhat lighter.
In keeping with tradition, I made a coupon for the Smashwords version of "Sasha", the second of my short stories: SS76W gets you a free short story about death, betrayal, and assassination.
You can download it
here, or view it online (along with the other stories)
here.
Enjoy!
