Adventures in E Publishing

Taking mmegaera 's advice I converted and uploaded Good Landing to Amazon this morning. It went pretty smoothly, but I couldn't figure out how to make it free, so I set a nominal price of 99 cents/pence/centiEuros. We'll see how it looks when it appears on Amazon within 24 hours.

Thirty Days of Drabbles - Day Twenty-Three

Two for the price of one, mostly because I wasn't satisfied with the first one fitting with the theme, so I wrote another one!

For avanti_90's prompt of "Starting a war for a stupid reason"

"What's with you, Terinu?" Gwen demanded.

"What?" he shot back.

"You've been glaring at me ever since Matt came onboard the Veracious."

"I ain't been doing nothing like that. Yer the one that's been mooning about, staring at him."

"Why shouldn't I stare at him? He's pretty damned handsome once he got cleaned up and released from sickbay." Gwen paused, a slow smile coming over her face. "Oh, I get it. You're jealous.

Terinu laughed. "Jealous? Hey, news flash Gwen. Matt likes tits. He only likes tits."

"Well, then there's no reason why we can't have a little fun together, is there?" She smiled again as Terinu's face heated up in anger.

"Fine. But if you hurt him, I'll break every bone in yer body."

(at least the 2nd one fits in the "100 words exactly" requirement)

"Gwen, what did you do?" Matthew demanded, as the Vulpine security team kept their weapons leveled at the pair, while Lord Rufus held an urgent conversation with the security commander.

"I couldn't help it! I was feeling kinda down and she was so cute and fuzzy looking!" Gwen babbled.

"I wish you'd had a bit more self-control," Rufus said gravely, turning back. "It appears the ambassador wishes a duel of honor now."

"A duel, with swords?" Matt exclaimed. "What did Gwen do, hit one of her cubs?"

"No!" Gwen exclaimed. "Aw, come on, Rufus! I only rubbed her ears!"

Thirty Days of Drabbles - Day Twenty-Four

For chaypeta 's prompt of "An aurora borealis display has an unexpected effect on one of Tez's schemes. "

"Tez, I'm going to kill you," Maria said frostily, through clenched teeth.

"Stay quiet and make like you're a religious figure. Do you want them to gut you?" Beside him, Maria smiled beatifically, the wide arms of her heavy white robe hanging like golden wings as the waves of light from the aurora reflected off them.

"I thought we were going to negotiate a trade agreement with them?"

"That was before that blasted aurora started up and they decided we were the cause. Now do you want to be an avatar or a sacrifice?" Tez stepped back as one of the black and white figures tried to poke at him with a bayonet.

"I'll go with avatar," she growled. "One of these days you're going to tell me why you started selling rifles to penguins though."
