My new short story “Fester” is now available as a free eBook on Smashwords.
Background:
Been working on and off (mostly off) on a novel called Duty Calls for the last few years. Â Inspired by a 6 week stint on jury duty, it’s mainly a tale set during the long idle times at the courthouse. Â Hours and days spent hanging out with other jurors, exploring the building, telling stories, etc. Â The book alternates between these “hanging out” scenes and “flashback” scenes of the jurors in their normal, non-jury duty lives.
“Fester” is one of these flashback chapters, and one that works pretty well as a standalone.
Along with being a preview of things to come, it’s also an ode to summer music festivals, and possibly my retirement from “2 dudes in a car” storytelling (though you can never say never…)
Enjoy!
