Short short Stories

I'm putting my very short stories on 'typotic.com'. These stories have to be more than 200 words long. So readers will be able to see these stories on both media. I have refined some of these stories. Maybe I'll even do a book of these stories at sometime in the future.

Uptown Lovers again

I think my book 'Uptown Lovers' is a great book. It can be had on create space, Amazon, payhip, lulu.com. The book tells the story of Morgana Simmonds and Stewart Brown.They are hopelessly in love with each other, until Morgana found out that he is a player. Morgana is caught in two minds. Should she stay and fight the competition or move on ? They are many subplots with endings you would not believe. This story will takes you on a very interesting journey. Read this story about beautiful Morgana Simmonds.

Stopping the Violence

I I wrote sometime ago that one of the ways to stop the violence in Jamaica is to do like what the Americans have done. This is to have car license plates carry the owber's home state on it. We could just swap the state for the parish sine Jamaica is divided into fourteen parishes. A lot of the crimes are being committed my persons either driving cars or riding bikes. People could not flee from St. James to say another parish. The Police could easily know which parish people come from by their cars.

INFATUATION

I remembered Westin Taylor. Leila Arnold had come to work at Jack Winston Insurance Agency. She was a real beauty. Most of us young guys immediately fell in love with her. People asked if she had ever entered any beauty contests before. Most of us guys knew that Leila even if desirable was not attainable. Westin (Wes) didn't think so and he followed her everywhere. Once she left the office Wes was with her. She was Winston's personal assistant. Two months after she started working at the agency she went to help out in the Montego Bay branch. Wes was in consternation. Then we heard that she had found an English guy down there. By the time she returned three months later it was being widely rumored that she was going away to marry the English man. We all felt sorry for Wes. Three years after Leila went away, she returned to Jamaica. I met her on the Constant Spring Mall one Saturday afternoon. She told me that she had never encouraged Wes to be interested in her. I didn't tel

UPTOWN LOVERS

I thought my novel, Uptown Lovers, would have done much better. I also thought my other novel, Undercover Soldier would have done much better. I urge readers to buy one of these books on Amazon Kindle or Create Space. I loved writing both books. I don't know why people don't love reading them. My books are on Amazon, Amazon Kindle, Create Space and Payhip.

The Discord

I was a member of a youth club. We used to put on talent concerts. We had lots of performances from the community.There were these two girls who always sang 'Sad Movies' at almost all of our concerts. At one of our concerts this man came with a huge base guitar(banjo). He was going to perform with another man who also had a guitar. The two men could not strike up a cord on stage and walked off obviously angry with each other. It later transpired that both men had never practiced together. My books are on Amazon, Amazon Kindle, Create Space,Payhip and lulu.com

My Posts

I can't understand my posts. Sometimes I see where I've just posted a piece and it gets a lot of views in no time. Sometimes if I don't post something nobody visits my blog. I've heard people saying how much money they've made off their blog. I don't know how true that is. Right now I can't access the part on my blog to see if I'm making any money.

No Sales Rank on Amazon

The following books have no sales rank on Amazon: Bring back the Good Old Days, The Freeloaders, Glengoffe Days, Going to the Bushes to cut Firewood, Taking a Shortcut Home, Uptown Lovers, Undercover Soldier. I am asking my readers to patronize me by buying some of these books. Sales of my books seems only to be a trickle. It seems that I will have to postpone retirement for a few years yet. I really wanted to retire in a years time and concentrate on my writing career. My books are also on payhip but so far with no sales.

New Writings

I will be writing just collection of short stories. Novels are very hard to write. I might write a few plays and some poems. I want to get more expertise in the writing of poems. I have written several poems but I don't think I've got that expertise as yet. I love to write plays and would love to do several more. My plays on Amazon are, The Freeloaders and Life at 21 Lane. They are also on Create Space and Payhip. My book of poems is Glengoffe Days.

Reading the Classics

I am reading some classics and I wonder at these great writers' knowledge of world at large. I would really like to write historical fiction. This would mean a lot of research. I don't know if I have the time, seeing that I'm working full time. Currently I have three collection of short stories lined up plus another novel. I would seriously want to just concentrate on my writing.
