My birthday was on Saturday, and I just have to share the awesomeness that is my parents. Here is a taste of the joy that was in the box they gave me:
Ok, now for business. *Ahem*. I've said I'm going to be indie publishing a short story collection, and that I'll be giving one sample story from the collection away for free. Well, guess what time it is. It's free story time. The story is formatted and all ready for me to press upload on Amazon KDP. So those of you with kindles or kindle apps for iPads and other such gadgetness can get my story for free. I know its the moment you've all been waiting for. Ok maybe not, but I've been waiting for it. I'm ready to have my name on peoples kindles. I know short stories aren't going to give me any huge sales or publicity perks or anything like that, but I've had these stories with me for a long time. They are part of me, and I want them to go to good homes. Which is why I'm giving them to you.
The story that will be available starting TOMORROW! is one called "Gabby." You guys know me through my blog, but I want you to know me through my fiction too. There are some truths only fiction can tell, and that's why I write stories. "Gabby", though the main character is younger than I typically write, is a good representation of the kinds of stories I like and generally go for. I'm going to leave it at that, you'll have to come back tomorrow for more information.
Ready?

Yay about the books!!
I'll be on the lookout for your short story. It's a good idea to give a story from a collection away for free.
Best of luck on the short story collection launch.
Great books, especially the John Green one...I love him. And congrats on the short story collection! I wish I could read it, but I dont have an ereader or anything like that. But I wish you the absolute best of luck!

Happy upcoming birthday. And good luck with your short story. Don't sell yourself short. After giving away over 3,000 copies of my first book. It now sits on 3 top 100 Amazon Best Sellers lists. Free books can produce crazy results.
Happy Birthday Sarah :) Looking forward to your story. I recently read Anna and the French Kiss and fell in love with it.
Happy birthday for last Saturday. What a wonderful present :-)

Your short story collection launch is so exciting. Piles and tons of luck and success on that! You have some delicious birthday books to slurp up. Happy Birthday.
