\"\"<\/a>My second indie published short story, “Decision LZ1527,” is now available for $.99 from Amazon<\/a>.\u00a0 This is the same story that was published in the December 2009 issue of Leading Edge<\/em>.\u00a0 I’ve also included a short author’s note at the end, explaining the writing process from idea to publication.<\/p>\n

As with “Memoirs of a Snowflake<\/a>,” the epublishing process wasn’t that complicated.\u00a0 The story was short enough that I didn’t feel a need for a table of contents, and Amazon reformatted the uploaded .doc file without any problems.<\/p>\n

The biggest difference with this one was that I contacted the artist from the December issue and bought the rights to use the art.\u00a0 It cost a bit, but not much more than what Leading Edge<\/em> paid for the story, so overall I haven’t taken much of a loss.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I wrote “Decision LZ1527” back in 2006, when I was a sophomore in college trying to navigate the bizarre dating world of BYU.\u00a0 It’s about a boy trying to find the courage to ask out his secret crush, as told from the point of view of the little men inside his head, piloting him like some kind of spaceship.<\/p>\n

So yeah, I hope you check it out and enjoy it!\u00a0 If you don’t have a Kindle, Amazon has a number of free apps<\/a> that will allow you to read it on just about any platform (including your computer).\u00a0 And if you haven’t already picked up “Memoirs of a Snowflake<\/a>,” you can get it for $.99 too.<\/p>\n

I’ll do an update in a week or two about my indie publishing venture, but so far it’s been pretty fun!\u00a0 Hopefully, by putting out these stories, I’ll be able to share them with more people than would have read them otherwise.\u00a0 So thanks, and I hope you enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
