E-publishing

As of late I have decided to venture out into the wild world of e-publishing with a series of short stories and novellas. Listed below are a selection of published titles.
Acadian Rendezvous

Poor William” wants to know what happened to his good friend, Hans Umber. Hans used to work for William in New Orleans, but all of a sudden he left town in search of fame and riches. According to Poor William, Hans threw away a perfectly good career as a carpenter because he wanted to paint landscapes. Furthermore, a third person has come to New Orleans looking for Hans. The e-book version is available here.

The Sinister Snowman

The Sinister Snowman is an eerie winter's tale that takes place in a small Ohio town during a snowy winter. The story begins in front of an old Victorian house, where a group of small children put together an unusual looking snowman. Soon thereafter, strange things start to happen in the neighborhood.

Free Parking

On a cold winter night a flock of dark avian creatures appears near the home of the main character. Are these birds simply trying to survive an unusually cold winter - or is there something more sinister at work?
Twas A Balmy October Eve In Old Londontown

In this short Halloween spoof Harold Infiniti and his officiating crew have the unenviable job of refereeing a basketball game on the night preceding Halloween. The rules say no witchcraft is allowed, thus making the task of the three refs a little bit more difficult. The situation is complicated by the fact the some of the players are Werewolves and Harold and his associates are Zombies.
I Am A Jelly Doughnut

This book consists of a series of travel essays from Europe. The title revolves around a speech made by JFK in 1963, but the the travelogues are a result of two journeys that the author made to the Continent during the first decade of this century.
