Twelve Chapters in and a Giveaway.

If you've been following the story of Luke Fischer you know that the story is twelve chapters in and things are not going so well... for Luke that is. Me, I am having a helluva great time sharing this novel, and to be honest, delighting when people are waiting for the next installment - and even bugging me to post more often. (Which I did - see 2x the Pacificos).

Luke and I have been steadily picking up more readers, and connecting with some other noir and neonoir writers and fans. So far I have achieved just what I wanted - to share the fun of writing this novel, and the great character that is Luke Fischer. 

I have been working on a follow up to Surf City Acid Drop (I will share more news of that in a future post). At this point, a few months in (I'd have to look back to see where it began), I thought I would reach out to the readers of the serialized novel, and see what you think so far.
Now, I know people can be hesitant to post comments on a blog - so I will give you the option of sending me an email if you'd rather.

Rather than a contest, I'd like to offer one of my books as a thank-you for reading Surf City Acid Drop. No draws, no best post wins... basically, if you send me a comment about Surf City Acid Drop, I will send you the (e)book of your choice. (Sorry, at this point, I do not have any hard copies of anything).

Here are your choices:

Correction Line - my first novel, what I call Prairie-Magic Realism-Noir (Hell, I have to call it something). Basically, hitmen on the prairies... oh, and with a mystical substance that glows and may heal people.

Ethical Aspects of Animal Husbandry - a collection of short stories. Dark humour, with more than a dash of the Slipstream.

Bent Highway - A novella, serialized first here on the blog. This is part one of a planned series. The story is time-travel hits the road, and drinks a lot of tequila along the way. 8-tracks and Elvis tunes make an appearance.

For more information about thiem, you can find descriptions and reviews on Amazon amd Goodreads.

I can supply either mobi or epub versions - whichever you prefer.

Comment wise - just tell me what you think so far. Is the story pulling you along - or is it too slow and boring? Are there things you wonder about? Like Luke's background - or where you can buy Pacifico? (That's an easy one). Fire away, good, bad, ugly. At this point in my writing career, I've heard at all.

If you'd like to email me - send to cterlson@gmail.com

Finally, thanks to everyone for reading. You make it possible - because just one interested reader drives me to write another chapter.

Pacificos for all!
