The Sky Pirates of Gur - Humorous short story [FREE]
The Sky Pirates of Gur, by Donald R. Broyles, is now up at Smashwords and is FREE.
Description A humorous Post-Modern fantasy short story that pokes fun at the common tropes of this genre. Journey with Professor Carter Linwood as he rescues Princesss Miralee from the horrible looking Gurs - lizard folk who live in the sewer. With Jed Jarlton at his side, Professor Carter Linwood will battle the vile Ords - savage creatures with a penchant for nastiness and no desire to bathe. Will this short story be the beginning of Professor Linwood's nefarious battle against Evil? You decide! "You'll never use the toilet in the same way!" Available in Mobi and Epub formats. |

Don are you going to add it to the MR Library?

Thank you. No, I'll just have it available initially from Smashwords. In a few days or so, I'll probably put it on Amazon and have someone report it as being free at Smashwords. I think that's how it works. |

Yep. And it will probably be someone new who doesn't know that the author is our own Dr. Drib who posts about it.
