My debut novella is free on Amazon through this weekend. I hope all can take advantage of the offer and take a chance on “Green”.
“Near Fall”, the continuation of the story begun in “Green”, sits comfortably at about the halfway mark as I pause for a ghostwriting assignment, but I plan to post another excerpt soon, and will be aiming for a release, appropriately enough, near Fall of this year.
Thanks to all who continue to spread the word and tolerate my relentless shilling. More to come… \m/
Get your FREE “Green” eBook on Amazon today!
The response to the Goodreads Giveaway for “Green: A Pro Wrestling Novella” was fantastic; more than 600 entrants. As of today all 10 Winners’ copies of “Green” are out for delivery, but so many more added it to their ‘to-read’ shelves.
As a thanks, today through Jan.29th I’m offering “Babyface: Steal the Show” for FREE on Amazon Kindle.
While pro wrestling serves as the backdrop for ‘Babyface’, its a different voice and storytelling style than that of ‘Green’, tailored with hopes to reach readers of the voracious New Adult/College Romance variety. I do not know that it succeeds but it was fun to write and I hope fun for those that give it a try.
Novelette-size, the ‘Babyface’ eBooks, of which there are two, fall into Amazon’s Short Reads category, but you have my permission to take as long as you want.
If New Adult/Romance does not strike you, fear not. “Near Fall” follows; the novella-length follow-up to “Green”. More soon.
Also, those following on Facebook may notice a growing number of wrestling photos and posts. My Author page is in the process of merging with my prior ‘Wrestler’ page. George’s worlds are colliding and I expect it won’t be pretty to most but me.
Now go get “Babyface”! That is all… \m/

An excerpt from “Babyface: Steal the Show”:
“Mr. Foley,” Lucy begged the man’s attention, “I’m Lucy Dowd, sir. You knew my uncle, Lucky.”
“And I knew you too,” Foley said, stepping back, “the pig-tailed kid always bouncing around that ring in Burlington, every time I was booked there. Wow— look at ya!”
“My uncle still speaks well of you, sir. I’m trained by him, and I’m looking for work.”
“Now, sweetheart, I…”
“It’s Lucy, sir; and I’m good. If there’s a spot on your show, I’d love to prove it.”
“You got your uncle’s confidence.”
“His dropkick too, sir.” Foley softened, taking the liking to her that most old-timers did, but told her he didn’t have another female for her to work. “I’ll wrestle anyone, sir.”
“It’s Foley,” he said, “an’ I’m sorry Lucy, but I ain’t putting a gal in the ring with a man, least-of-all the niece o’ Lucky Dowd.”
“I understand,” Lucy told him. “Thanks anyway, Foley. I won’t take any more of your time.”
“How far you come to hear me tell you no,” Foley asked her, again taking Lucy in, head-to-toe.
“King’s Mountain,” Lucy told him, holding her breath that Foley might reconsider.
“Stick around, alright, stay for the show. I can’t put you on, but… let’s just see.”
