Manic Monday

It's time for Manic Monday.  

I want to apologize to all my fans - all four of you (let's hope that's humor and not reality).  I was unable to post Sunday Scribble.  I promise to make it up to you soon.  Oh wait, I can do that now.  Today I am offering you an opportunity to download my book.  CAPTAIN ALGERNON FISK SAVES A PRINCESS!



In this story Fisk, is making his way towards the outer reaches of the solar system.  His mission calls for him to reach Pluto and secure the resources necessary to ensure the continued success of the Empire.  Along the way the HMS SCOTT encounters some the Princess and her escort of ships under attack....

Read on while Fisk turns a well organized plan of some pirates into a mess.  But in order to do that.  You have to download the book from here.

MANIC MONDAY - FREE BOOKS

It's Manic Monday

Once again, I am humbly offering one of my books out to you, my readers, in the hope of showing a smidgen of gratitude for your willingness to take a chance with me.  As some of you may know I sought to create Captain Algernon Fisk as an officer of great gentlemanly character and strong virtue, similar to what we might see in Horatio Hornblower from the legendary series of C.S. Forester.

CAPTAIN ALGERNON FISK and the HMS SCOTT

This part of the Fisk's story takes place three years after the first book in the series.  Since then Fisk has spearheaded a growing presence of the Empire's force within the Asteroid Belt; a force determined to deal with the pirates who ravaged and pillaged the space lanes of the Sol System.  As we will find out in this part of the story, with great success, there can not be complete victory against so insidious a population as pirates.

Enjoy my fair reader.  Again, I am humbly thankful for your attention and would greatly appreciate it if you shared this information with your friends, peers, vassals, lieges, lords and ladies while leaving a review of the story in the appropriate box.

Captain Algernon Fisk and the HMS SCOTT can be downloaded here from Amazon.

Manic Monday - Revisited

MANIC MONDAY 2/17/2014

Why should Monday be seen so bad.  Let's lighten the mood, shall we? 

 Celebrating the increased number of participants viewing my stories on my website brings us to the second Manic Monday.  I know we all work hard and I want to humbly thank you for finding the time to spend with me reading my writings.  Once again I offer up to you another free Kindle story in the hopes that you continue to know the depths of my appreciation.  

Captain Algernon Fisk Against the Pirates of the Asteroid Belt

This story tells of a newly minted Captain of a small ship sent to deal with the growing pirate trade out of the Asteroid Belt of our Sol system.  The Belt circles the center of our solar system and because of that is easily the best place to have pirates operate out of as shipments have to cross it's path along the solar systems plane.  Captain Algernon Fisk story is set in a time period where Saturn is dominated by a communist state on the bring of collapse, a British empire based out of Jupiter allied with an American presence on Mars.  Assorted other nationalities are spread out among the Human Diaspora within the solar system, providing a political climate on the brink of war.  

This first book of Fisk is humbly offered to you, my reader.  Please feel free to leave a review if you have read the story already or if you haven't download today and read at your leisure.    

Manic Monday!!

Introducing Manic Monday: 

Since our restart I have seen a noticeable increase in the amount of traffic coming to my site.  I really appreciate the increased support and confidence in my fans, friends and associates.  I know it can be difficult in our fast paced world to find the time to check out my site, read my musings and my short stories as well as spread the good word among your own friends, family and associates.  I wanted to show you my appreciation for all your help and support so I decided to go the extra step and create a MANIC MONDAY.   I know your question - and here's your answer.  On every Monday I will be posting a link for you to download a free book of mine from the kindle store.  Each week the book will be different.  As new books become available I will include them into the rotation as feasible.  

I offer this humble Thank you to all of you!

Our First Offering:

Storm Story: Triumphant: A book that I wrote during and after Super storm Sandy hit the Northeast and crippled most of New Jersey, New York and surrounding areas.  My family and I didn't struggle as much as others closer to the shore, but we still spent nearly a week without power but were fortunate to have family who did have power and let us stay at their house during the storm.  Thanks Connie and Fred!  I remember vividly looking at our situation and wondering what my children would do if stuck in Sandy without parents, friends or family to help out.  Many of my stories that aren't Science Fiction revolve around the simple concept of Bad Things Happen to Good People, and how they react.  This was one of those stories.
