Umm, if you’re reading this, I love you. Thanks for being the best.
If you haven’t already read my short story “The Green Boots” or my collection of short stories “The Green Boots and Other Awkward Short Stories” then you are cordially reminded to get on that.
Send me an email (or a comment here will do) and I’ll send you the PDF of the e-book, which is also available on Kindle for like $2.00. “The Green Boots” is the short story I’m most proud of. In fact, it won a Fiction of the Year Award in 2012. You’ll probably like it. Holler at me, love doves, and I’d love for you to read it.
Yes, this is because I love you, and yes, this is because it’s V-Day.
By the way, I’m on my way to Jamaica today. Keep your fingers crossed that I don’t get a sunburn.



Have fun in Jamaica!!! You deserve to have a good time, but be careful where you go if outside your resort….
Thanks Keli! We did not step foot off the resort!
I really need to get on that. If I don’t have a Kindle…then how do I get this? I really want to support my fellow writers!
Cool. Send me your email address and I’ll send it to you as a PDF! I’d love to hear your feedback.
bengardner2000@gmail.com. Thanks! How much would it be?
Zero dollars!
That’s too much. Why are you giving it away? Aren’t you trying to sell it?
I’m giving it away because I want people to read it! If they want to buy it, it’s on Amazon, but people who have a connection (ahem, readers) can get it for free! I just want people to read it and let me know what they think! I sent it to you. Did you get it?
Yep I got it and I intend on reading it. Thanks so much. Is it cool being a published writer? I totally want to do some of my work, but the novel thing seems to be taking forever. Maybe I will do short stories.
