Watch for 'Confiscation Blues', my new novel. Eric has the confiscation blues. He left the Colorado protective cocoon and a neighboring state confiscated his car. His Denver apartment was raided and all of his electronic devices were confiscated. They said he smuggled weed, but the evidence was planted. They said his electronic devices were purchased with money from an illegal enterprise, but his only illegal enterprise was streaming bootleg movies from Aquarium. Hey, lock him up for that, he's clearly a bad person. Eric loses his Denver job, due to testing positive for weed. What's up with that, it's Colorado, eh? Eric moves to western Colorado, new job, different problems. Eric is a common man, he just wants happiness and yummy chocolate doughnuts, why are they trying to kill him?

Fred was a struggling eBook writer. His copyright fees and his blog fees exceeded his earnings from eBook sales.
In a River City casino hotel room, Fred was working on a new short story, which he planned to release for free to spur sales of his original eBook. The copyright fees for the eShort wouldn’t be free, however. The last time Fred released a free eShort, he sold more eBooks, but not enough eBooks to cover the copyright fee of the free eShort.
Fred’s account balance hadn’t yet reached the minimum threshold for royalty payments, thus Fred had earned exactly nothing during his writing career, despite selling some eBooks. Fred wondered how many free eShort copyright fees he’d have to pay to spur enough eBook sales to get his first royalty payment from the eBook company.
The finances of Fred’s writing career were on the other side of the balance sheet than Fred imagined. Of course what he imagined was loyalty payments flowing steadily in and how rich he’d be when that happened.
Fred’s free eShorts had interesting download stats. Most of the downloads occurred on week days, during daytime hours. Fred wondered if this meant his target audience was unemployed people.
