Print: $7.95 Download: $1.50 These Wimbledon stories are factual experiences of a tennis aficionado (nut) who fell in love with tennis after reaching the ripe age of forty-nine. This fact bears significantly upon the creation of the narration that I, Walker Joe Jackson, felt compelled to tell. If the wonderful game of tennis had not discovered me, 'The Queue' would still be a mystery, and I would have been denied the pleasures of Wimbledon. Will I go again? The question is not, will I, but when? I wish to mention here, before I forget, that occasionally some color and satire have been contrived to eliminate the banality of some of the sketches and characters. It's especially true in my case. However, all events and circumstances mentioned actually happened. If I said I did it, I did it. If I said I saw it, I saw it. However, any resemblance of a person living or dead is purely coincidental.

Print: $9.95 Download: $1.50 Emetic horror. Blood Trust, a group of seven cold blooded murderers meet at haunted Chimerical Manor to confess their killing stories. Thus, seven horrifying stories await you; however, when McTrite joins, he tells his. Manor owner and Trust organizer Benson Ballard is also a haunter. "I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat," said Edgar Allan Poe. Since his after-spirit is an honorary member of 'BLOOD TRUST', a brief excerpt taken from his 'The Devil in the Belfry', seems a befitting introduction. When I fly-off on tangents, please forgive me. And, if my images seem beyond belief, accept them as intended, to entertain. Eat your heart out Stephen King.
Rave: I'm about half-way through Blood Trust and am enjoying it thoroughly! While I didn't find McTrite as engrossing -- as I'm not much for the genre -- it, too, was well-written. The very idea of Blood Trust is interesting, and you capture the characters well.
