Thanks for the kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed them. I’m particularly proud of the Sherlock Holmes piece.

Have I written short stories? Yep, you’ve just read a couple. If you check the fiction category

http://ilmk.wordpress.com/category/fiction/

you’ll find more, although that also includes excerpts.

I’m working on pulling my Kindle fiction into an anthology. I think that will be fun…I’m even engaging a cover artist, which I’ve been told my books sorely need.

The writing I’m doing now is quite satisfying, I don’t really feel a push to do something different. I do think that can be a mistake. I do intend to write more titles for the Kindle store, but this blog (and the other two…and the time I spend in the Kindle community) satisfies my current creative itch. There have been times in my past when my creative stuff took too much time away from the family…that’s not worth it. They are supportive of this, I think people like it and it helps people, and it pays my kid’s rent in college. That all works for me.

I’m flattered, though…thanks! If you keep reading this blog, you’ll see more of the fiction (even if not everybody likes it).

Oh, did you read

It’s cool to me that it is my first work which has been translated.

Thank you, Cynthia, for taking the time to write this. I really appreciate it. I thought A Kindle Carol came out well, but it means a lot to know that someone “out there” liked it.

I’m sure you’ll find other things on your Kindle that you like as much, and I’ll do my best to keep ILMK enjoyable and informative in the future.
