I haven’t updated my blog in almost three months. What have I been doing for those three months, you ask? (Yes, you. The lady wearing the hat, in the third row. I heard you ask. Now, please, sit down.) Well, I ran and lost for Benton County School of the Arts school board, I started a web development business (sparkynet.com,) and I’ve been writing. My still-untitled short story collection should be finished by July and hopefully be available for purchase in August. A little past the May deadline I’d set for myself, but that’s the joy of being an indie author: deadlines can be changed! I will be posting one of the stories from the collection for free, probably here and maybe on Wattpad, to whet your appetite for the book. If you can thinking of any other places I should post it, please let me know by commenting below. Stay tuned!

From Joe's writing

A part of her resented both her brothers for disappearing when she was only 13, causing her to grow up faster than any girl should. In many ways, however, she was still a little girl. She’d only just started dating when Ben was taken, and she’d put having any sort of a love life on hold indefinitely. Not only was she still a virgin, but she’d only once even kissed a boy. She was eighteen now, however, officially an adult, and she needed to put that resentment in the past. She needed to grow up and start making better decisions. She needed to think more with her head and less with her heart.
