Indies Unlimited Gear Now Available!

I had no idea money was such a big part of being an evil mastermind. I am sick and tired of all the other evil masterminds laughing at me from the safe seclusion of their island lairs while I blog from between two dumpsters. I need parts for my laser death ray, and the distributor doesn’t accept the Discover card.

My first fundraising efforts involved sending the minions out to sell candy door-to-door. Mader was the only one who’d wear the Girl Scout uniform and everyone came back with no candy and no money.

But this—this is an idea too good to fail! By popular demand (meaning someone once mentioned it to me) we are now offering Indies Unlimited gear. You can choose from a whole line of fine products and show your support for Indies Unlimited.Win-win.

Check out the Indies Unlimited Gear Page. Then pick something and buy it. Don’t be a lookie-loo.

 

 

 

 

 

Postcards from Mr. Pish Featured in Conversations Magazine

Postcards from Mr. PishK. S. Brooks’ Postcards from Mr. Pish, the first book in the educational children’s series featuring the friendly traveling terrier, appears in the latest issue of Conversations Magazine.  A smiling Atavion Webb displays his copy of Postcards from Mr. Pish in the article “Twelve New Year’s Resolutions for Kids: Stopping the Self-Entitled Mentality.”

For unknown reasons, they rejected my suggested title, “Stopping the Self-entitled Mentality: What’s in it for You.”

For more information on Conversations Magazine, go to www.conversationsmag.com. To learn more about the Mr. Pish educational children’s books series, visit www.MrPish.com.

And hurry up about it. Mr. Pish is a dog, so every minute he has to wait for you to click is like seven minutes in dog-time.

Week 11 Flash Fiction Contest: The Last Season

Photo by K.S. Brooks

This will be the last season for the old lodge. Jess is getting on in years. The money from the developers must have been mighty tempting, too.

There is another reason Jess decided after all these years to sell that lodge—and a reason he’ll be leaving soon afterward. There is something no one else knows yet.

In 250 words or less, tell me a story incorporating the elements in the picture. The 250 word limit will be strictly enforced.

Use the comment section below to submit your entry. Entries will be accepted until 5:00 PM Mountain Standard Time on Tuesday, March 13th, 2012.

On Wednesday morning, we will open voting to the public with an online poll for the best writing entry accompanying the photo. Voting will be open until 5:00 PM Thursday.
