Short Story - Cole Mackenzie
a year ago
I just uploaded 'Cole Mackenzie - Part 1'.
This is a direct sequel to Daniel Haas. If you haven't read that one yet, I strongly encourage you to to that first so you can see where Cole Mackenzie comes from.
Life got in the way and slowed me down, but I am working on Part 2 of 'Cole Mackenzie', and I'll upload it as soon as I have finished writing and editing it.
And, yes, this does seem to be turning into a series. So, why don't we just assume that it is a series for now? Okay?

I'll take your silence while I'm typing this as an agreement.
Who knows, though? Maybe if I write enough of these I can offer them as a collection sometime.
I am just now working on Part 2 of my second gritty, noir-ish crime story, though, so I'll hold off on counting my chickens until the shells start to crack.
I do want to say, though--and I can not stress this enough--I'm writing for myself. As much as I hope others read my stories and like them, this is for me. I went a very long time without writing much more than a poem--and being seriously dissatisfied with any story attempt I made--because of personal tragedies, anxiety, depression, and a whole lot of other issues which were both situational and tied into my autism and adhd (and not being diagnosed with either until 2019). Now that I'm at a point where I can write again, and where I am actually enjoying it, it's all mine.
So if you don't like what I write about, or who my characters are, I may take some genuine criticism and good advice at times but these are my stories. You are free to share in them, but I make the rules in this messed up house. And if you hate my house, there are almost 8 billion people in this world for you to pick from. I'm sure at least one of them will make you happy.
I bet none of them would make you blueberry brownies, though. I mean, I might not. But I totally bet they wouldn't either.
I'm also starting to lose track of what I'm talking about because I started comparing things to houses, and now I want brownies.
So, confusing road shortened: these are my stories; I write what I want; I hope you like what I write but if not find something from someone that you do like, with my thanks for at least trying my stuff out.
Like 'Damien Haas', 'It Begins-Chapter One', and 'The Gargoyle', this story is in PDF format, as I imagine that pretty much all my short stories will likely be. I just like PDF best. But there are many converters you can use if you need a different format to use on your device. The converter I usually use when I need to is www.freefileconvert.com - but that is not a sponsored plug, and there are many more programs, both online and downloadable, that you can choose from.
