What's red and white and carries a badge?

Fairy tales are not friendly things. They're dangerous wastelands filled with people who would slit your throat for a magic bean...and the idea that they stopped happening just because we grew up and moved out of the deep dark forest is ludicrous. The narrative has been here all along, watching us, waiting for the moments when we give it opportunity to strike.

There's no such thing as "happy ever after." There's only "once upon a time."

I am delighted to announce that, beginning May 21st, my first serial novel will be publishing on the Kindle via 47North. With a new chapter every two weeks, Indexing will follow the brave women and men of the ATI Management Bureau as they try to protect the everyday world from the predatory stories that are lurking just beyond the edge of sight.

You can see the gritty details here.

With hardships and horrors aplenty, Indexing is a fusion of fairy tale and modern police drama, sort of a "Once Upon a Time meets Criminal Minds" elevator pitch of a story. It's been a lot of fun to write, and the price point is excellent for a new story every two weeks. The print edition will be out in December for those of us who don't do Kindle.

I'm very excited to have the opportunity to tell this story. I hope you'll like it as much as I do.

Resisting the urge to order the kindle...
I can totally wait...really I can...

Although I do have to posit that I've very much been enjoying the trials and tribulations of the "happily ever after".

I suppose it could be looked at as a different level of "once upon a time", that's just not my mindset.

Do you have a smartphone? There's a Kindle app for Android phones; I don't know about iphones. But if you can do that then you don't have to have an actual Kindle.

There is also a Kindle desktop app for PC (and possibly Mac). You don't need to buy a Kindle to read Kindle stuff!

In addition to the pc desktop one or the smartphone app, you can also get it for tablets, AND you can get it as a browser extension (that's how I got kindle books on my linux machine; couldn't get the windows program running, but the chromium extension works great!)

If you have a device, amazon wants you buying and reading their books on it, pretty much.

There's totally an iPhone app! Wa Ha... no delayed gratification for me.

There is definitely a Kindle app for the iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad. (I.e., all the iPhingies...) It is adequate, though I am a Stanza snob, even now.

There is also a Kindle app for the Mac computer, should one wish to read upon one's screen.
