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

The walls of the library were covered in big maple bookshelves that ran from floor to ceiling, sporting volumes on plumbing, weaponry, martial arts, religion, ancient civilizations, and dozens of other topics. A huge wooden ladder lay against one bookshelf, attached at the floor and the ceiling via rollers. The room also housed three leather wingback chairs, another huge mildewed couch with clawed wooden feet, and even a radio that looked as though it might actually work were electricity still flowing through the grand old house. Everything was bathed in dust, and more than a few spiders, flies, cockroaches, and other assorted crawling creatures had decided to homestead the property. The entire second floor of the house was a virtual metropolis of bugs.
