Late last night I came up with an idea for a new page on my site.
So, if you all don’t mind I am going to start reviewing random books that are offered for free on Amazon. You might think that is a cheap thing to do.
Well, it is.
You see, I am broker than broke. I am doing all this work (writing, editing my work, not nagging my beta-readers, building a social network) so that I can eventually make money, buy a house, make babies, and not have to worry about money (too much).
I am in no way saying that money is the only reason I am doing all this. I have been working on my first book for over three years, just finished writing 32 poems for a book of bathroom poetry, got a late start on NaNoWriMo, and have many other projects that are slowly cooking in the back of my mind – Because I Love To Write.
I have also always loved to read (although my mother would tell you that it wasn’t exactly a breeze to teach me how). So it’s a natural progression to go from reading good books to hopefully writing good books.
With my love of reading in mind, I have downloaded a copy of Love, Lies and High Heels, by Debby Conrad.
Thank you, Ms. Conrad for offering your book for free. If I hadn’t seen the blurb about it on Twitter and been intrigued by the title, I might not have come up with this idea for quite some time.
Hopefully I can get it read by this time next week. No guarantees though. I may be broke, but I’m also busy.

NaNoWriMo Word Count Update
As of my latest writing session I am up to: 3379 words
The plot thickens, the ideas boil,…hmm, now I’m hungry.

One thing you will learn soon enough, is that I am a terribly, horribly, chronic night owl. This disorder is further compacted by the fact that the only person in the household who has a normal job is on swing-shift. Therefore if the rest of us want to have any real socialization time with him, we have to be on a schedule close to his.
So, if you post a funny, witty, or urgent message, please do not be offended that I don’t respond by noon. I will get back with you. Just on a different schedule than most other Americans.
Until Next Time…
