    Old And Angry, A Novella

    Citizens of M4C, my new Novella, Old And Angry is now out! It's a spin off from my Vacation Gone South series, so anyone who enjoyed that series should enjoy this one too. I look forward to your reviews and feedback!

    Get it via Amazon HERE.

    Thanx!

    I look forward to your review! Main character, Paul L, is in fact a real person, a buddy of mine who was a LRRP in Vietnam. The dead Ranger, is actually an Army Col who is a fan of the VGS series and I posted his review of VGS series in the dedicated thread. I feel a greater connection to the characters when based of real people in some form or another which helps me bring them to life. Most characters in VGS are names of real people I know.

    Redshirting friends and fans is a time-honored tradition... just ask Larry Correia.

    Ok Will, I have purchased.

    I really hate kindle store... instead of opening on page one, your book is lost as they try to swindle 9.99 a month out of me. This happened with Chappies book too. (A fellow Sacramentan)

    I just finished it. Very enjoyable read! You need to start writing full length books though.

    Glad you enjoyed. I tend to write until I feel the story is written, and that's usually 30-50k, so novella length. I like the pace of novella length stuff. Might also be all those years of writing for magazines and such where you had to be focused and concise and word count always on your mind. But, some day I will try to push for novel.

    ALL, please make sure to leave a review at point of purchase as the sale and rankings of my stuff lives or dies on those reviews.

    Another option for going long might be to start with a novella, then use the end of that story as a launchpad for another, then use that for a third. Collect the whole VGS series together and you might be able to make a book of it easily...

    Actually, did exactly that using the last 4 novellas in the series. VGS 1-4 in print format:

    Vacation Gone South Print version

    PS, pic in my profile is the print book.

    This new story is a spin off character from that series.
