Amazon Night

    Hey, everyone. I've been putting off the uploading of several books to Amazon because they have changed the procedure somewhat. I had 3 novels over there and they were selling better there than some other places. Last night, late, I finally got to work on it and started uploading those bad boys. I actually submitted 5 new works. Three were novels, one was a novelette and one was a short story. I just went over to the site and noticed they had published them live, for which I am grateful.
    I have been working on adding a feed for my blog so that every post I complete will automatically go to my Amazon Author Page. I'm not a really great computer person so it took me a little while to get it done, but now all the posts should appear both places. Unfortunately, all the cool posts of the past, such as Footsteps On The Roof, won't be printed over on Amazon unless I reissue them on The Author's Green Retreat. So I'd like to invite all the Amazon visitors to go to my blog and browse.
    From what I can gather, in order for you to publish short stories on Kindle Singles, you have to submit them via email, rather than through the normal channel of Digital Text Platform. My plan is to submit several short stories over there in the near future. It should be an interesting and rewarding experience. As I mentioned the other day, I saw that David Baldacci had sold 50,000 copies of a short story in its first week on Kindle Singles.     My next computer related challenge is how to figure out the right way to post a link from The Author's Green Retreat to my Amazon Author's Page. I think I've done everything right but the link still fails.
    Life is far from boring for me at the moment. I am renovating a house, writing a blog, publishing and promoting books, and doing some writing. I am about a third of the way through the fourth and final Centaur novel called Matilda's Bones, in which I'll wrap up the stories of all those characters that have become so real to me. (That's the series that begins with The Dan Tattoo, by the way.) Also, in the development stage is the sequel to my sci-fi novelette The Amulet Covenant. Just to round out the days I work a full time job. Whew!
     Well, the hour is late so I'll bid you a goodnight from the author's green retreat.
    I'm CE Wills.

Shadowgun: Crushing The Driller On Level 4

      Hey, everyone. Let's talk about the game called Shadowgun, the I-Pad game with which I have a love-hate relationship. Most of you who made it past the evil Cyber Lobster are doubtless locked in a death struggle with the Driller at the end of level 4. At this point you have been in the cave for a long time. The Driller breaks through the rock wall and chases you through the tunnel as you try to shoot out the green lights which slows the Driller down. If you are slick enough to shoot out all the lights and emerge from the cave, a rolling door crashes on the Driller and crushes his aggravating carcass. I have tried and failed to beat the Driller at least 250 times. I hate the Driller to the heights and depths my soul can reach. I hate it like a plague. I hate it with intensity of feeling. I hate it like a rich man hates taxes. Excuse me, I got carried away.       We had a big dinner here at the green retreat and my friend Trevor was ...

You're Aiming the Missile Where?

    Hey, everyone, out there in game-land. The number 1 game on the friendly neighborhood app store is Call of Duty: Strike Team . No wonder, because it is a terrific game. The farther I play, the cooler it gets. But before I get to that, what are all these numbers indicating on my gun? Has to be some sort of ammo indicator for the clips, I guess. either that or some of my compadres has trouble doing his math homework. Whatever.     Hey. Check out the picture of me hitching a ride on an enemy truck so that my team can infiltrate a missile silo. Do you like the face mask? I bought it at a store called Fashions by Bane. Ha, ha. (Batman Reference) On this mission, my team was assisted by a Russian Spetsnaz squad. How's that for detente, comrade? These Spetsnaz guys make everything fun. What I mean is this. We shoot bunches of enemies and get into the bowels of the silo. We get to the gantry where the missile is (Pictured above) and we see that the rad...

Shadowgun: Killing The Windbreaker

    Hey, everyone. I thought it might be a good time for a bit of an update on the riveting game called Shadowgun. Consider this your spoiler alert and tune out if you want to.     Once you get past the dreaded Driller, things get better but you are certainly not out of the woods. You will want to make sure you keep a full clip in your gun as you stroll through the realm of the evil and crazy Dr. Simon. But hey, you're John Slade, the Shadowgun, and wherever you set your foot is the place to which your authority extends.      I love the way that some of the barriers disintegrate under the impact of bullets. I didn't learn this at my mother's knee but I darn sure know it now. I have learned that there are certain places it is good to plan on using the rocket launcher. Keep your stock of those filled. There are these transporter guys who are aggressive punks. The only way they respect you is if you kill them, so that's the way I roll. As...
