Welcome to December! I hope everyone survived their Thanksgiving dinners, free from turmoil and arguments. And if you’re the kind of person who enjoys the insanity of Black Friday, I hope you scored a great deal on a new TV (or something else equally cool)!
Finally, for those who participated in NaNoWriMo, I hope your project this year was fulfilling and fun… and it brings you a step closer to finalizing your work.
As we steamroll towards Christmas, stay sane and stay jolly. This time of year gets busy and intense, so I wish you the best of everything this holiday season.
If you read last week’s notes, you will know that Amazon Music Unlimited is now offering one Audible book to listen to each month with your subscription. If you - or anyone else you know - has this service, please check out one of my audiobooks available here.
Or, if you have thought of checking out an audiobook by a different independent writer, this new program is a great way to spread the love. You get an audiobook at no charge (it’s included in your Amazon Music Unlimited subscription), and the author gets credit (and a little bit of cash) for the transaction. It’s a win-win, and a great way to put a little jingle in the jeans of your favorite writers.
Just search in the Amazon Music Unlimited app for any of my audiobooks like THE ORGAN GRINDER. You can also ask Alexa to play THE ORGAN GRINDER by Kevin Carr. Or, maybe check out my horror anthology 13 MORE TURNS, the novelette FEEDING GROUNDS, and the novelette NOT EVEN A MOUSE, which is the perfect holiday zombie story to usher in Yuletide eatings.
Be sure to tell your friends and family about this Substack. Forward it, subscribe, and link it in your yearly Christmas e-card. There’s no better gift for the holiday season!
*99 Shots are complete stories, new each week, totaling 99 words or less.
IN THE TREE by Kevin Carr
Perry and Wendy finished decorating for Christmas after a busy weekend of family events. After the empty boxes were put away in the attic once again, the couple cuddled on the sofa and sipped spiked eggnog.
Soon, they felt themselves drifting off to sleep, the fire in the hearth dwindling to ashes and embers. It was time for bed.
Wendy left first while Perry turned off the lights and covered the fireplace. Then he turned off the tree.
And a chill traveled down his neck when he saw two red dots still glowing within the pine needles.
Not lights.
THE END
