Sorry to bore you guys with this, but sometimes I get yelled at if I don’t mention these things, so this is just to point out that I have a new mini-collection out on the Kindle today, The Devil Has His Due. It contains a group of four stories about our least favorite place, a sort I sometimes do for fun because there’s no real market for them outside rolling your own, attested to by the fact that, of the four, three are original to the volume. There will be a Nook version too, it just takes longer.
When we try to be good, that’s plan A, but that route is harder than it looks. And when virtue just isn’t working for you, there’s always plan B—like it or not. The Devil Has His Due contains four stories about dealing with the consequences when plan A doesn’t quite come together.
“Closing Time” – Maybe the worst part of Hell isn’t being there. It’s remembering why.
“One Blissful Night at the Inferno Lounge” – The night life in Hell. Care to dance?
“Boiling the Frog” – Appearances can deceive, the Devil does deceive, but neither as well as we can do ourselves.
“Subversion Clause” – Down through the ages there have been mortals who thought they could beat the Devil at his own game. So. Doesn’t the Law of Averages suggest that at least one of them might be right?
Four stories for $.99, it just doesn’t get any better than that. At least, not when I’m doing it.
Edited to add: The Nook version is now live.
Plan B does often belong to one of the Devil’s imps, at the very least! Love your cover and your tongue-in-cheek approach to these stories!
There’s usually humor in everything I do, even the dark stuff, though that last story in the collection probably has a little more than most.
