A Necklace of Rubies
Tuesday, November 16, 2004Do you guys remember the short story I blogged last February, called "In the Chamber"? Awhile back I edited it on paper, and today, instead of doing my book, I started the heavy second draft on much of it. I've added one scene, expanded greatly on a couple, and tightned things in other places. It's not really a bad story. I'm hoping to submit it to a place that takes longer short stories and publishes them as ebooks. I've renamed it "A Necklace of Rubies", and if you remember much of the story, I hope you'll find the signifigance of the title nifty. I've been wanting to use that title for ages. yay! Now I have. Didn't like The Chamber (which I'd shortened it to) much because there's a popular book by that name. A second thing i'd like to mention is Helping through books and Music (http://helpfightaids.com/) a non profit orgazination that raises money to fight aids through selling books and music at Half.com. I've ordered a book from them, and I'll let you know how that turns out...the prices are reasonable ($3.50 for the new Jeffrey Deaver in New condition.) and if you happen to be Holiday shopping on Half, you might want to check it out. Though I truly wish you could search the sellers themselves for books. Don't you hate trying to search through all the sellers to match people up so you can combine shipping?
