It was published by a small press which only pays royalties, however, I have never received any $ for it. (imagine that) and they only had first rights, so I publihsed it myself. <br /><br />Perhaps some people will be furstrated it's not longer or they may think it's abrupt at the end, but orginally it was written to be in an anthology. I have thought of continuing it. <br /><br />I published it because I want it to go free on Amazon as a sample of my writing, but I have not been blessed by the Amazonian Gods in that way yet.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07922596724107742478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-83953121198336531832011-12-16T11:46:13.521-07:002011-12-16T11:46:13.521-07:00I have it on my iPad!I have it on my iPad!Alex J.

I think that this has something to do on a subconscious level of being able to figure out how to fight the evil shape shifter.<br /><br />Additionally, I think that Chad was kind of in love with Ray already and just hadn't realized it. I think Cindy handled it great because sometimes it can take men a long time to come to terms with these "feelings".<br /><br />@Rusty: It's a short story. It appears long because Cindy has stuck a five chapter preview of Vallar in the book along with it as a marketing tool but TransShifter shouldn't take you long at all.<br /><br />@Brinda: I'm with you on using Goodreads to organize books now. I do the same.<br /><br />Thanks everyone for visiting this morning! I hope all your Christmas shopping is going well.

Oh well, it was just 99 cents I'd waste on something else, like another XMas song I don't need.<br /><br />I liked it up until the end, which I thought was way too abrupt.<br /><br />Spoilers!!!!<br /><br /><br />I mean, how did Chad know to use the generator against the evil shape shifter? He was a soldier, not a physicist or anything. It sure as hell wouldn't occur to me to use a generator against it. Mostly I'd just be running away.<br /><br />And shouldn't Chad have been more pissed off that he lost a leg to protect "Ray"? And how could "Ray" be a "guardian angel" when he/she caused Chad harm?<br /><br />Anyway, at some point I think this should be a full-length novel.PT Dillowayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09394481476862013009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495499100279472520.post-80337853291722678252011-12-16T05:52:45.102-07:002011-12-16T05:52:45.102-07:00I like sci-fi and the premise, so I'll put thi...I like sci-fi and the premise, so I'll put this on my Goodreads TBR list.
