Free Books today!

I'm unenrolling a bunch of books from Amazon's KDP Select program so I can make them available on the Nook soon and I still had plenty of promotion days left.

So, for their last hurrah as Amazon exclusives, I thought I'd make them free for today and tomorrow.

If you want them for free, now is the time to grab them.

1) Confessions of an Independent Filmmaker: Part 1 - Missy: I've been working on a series for a while now of my adventures through the film industry. The first part of the series describes my desire and love for film and documents the first film I made. And how I built an entire spaceship in my mom's backyard and how I ended up in Park City showing the film at festivals. (Part 2 covers failed projects and proposals and Part 3 covers my time as a guerilla marketer at Sundance, Part 4 is forthcoming, but documents my adventures dealing with producers and agents in Hollywood as a screenwriter).  But Part 1 is a free taste right now.

2) Letters From Elsewhere: This is a collection of short stories all in letter format. They run the gamut from war stories to love stories and a few interesting points in between. There are 4 stories in all and I think they're a quick, enjoyable read for anyone even half interested.

3) The Whiskey Doctor: Stories From the New Great Depression: I think of the three pieces I have here, this one might be the most "important." It's three heartfelt stories about people trying to make it in today's tough economy. I love that Depression era literature that came out of the dust bowl with guys like John Steinbeck and this is my modern take on those themes.

These are completely free for you. The only thing I ask is that you consider reviewing them or passing the word on about them if you like what you've read.

Salt Lake Comic Con 2017 Schedule

It's time for another year of Salt Lake Comic Con and another hectic schedule for me. But! that doesn't mean it's not a helluva lot of fun. I hope you're able to join me at any of these panels. Especially if you like Star Wars. And please, please, please come to my signing and visit. Get some books signed. I'd love that enormously. Here is my Thursday schedule: Everything here is a highlight. That first panel about behind the scenes of the prequels is with Pablo Hidalgo and I'll be asking him questions about what it was like to be there on set for most of the prequels. Then I'll be asking questions of Michael Biehn, who I've been a fan of since I was a little kid. Aliens and Terminator were favorites. If you want to ask him a question, please hit me up on Twitter with it. I will ask it at the panel. And you don't want to miss Fauxthentic History's Infinity Gauntlet live episode. It's going to be soooo good. Here is Friday:

The Missed Opportunities of Days Gone By

“Hello?” I said into the phone, accepting the call from a number I didn’t recognize. “Hey,” the feminine voice on the other replied, as though I should know the sound of her voice. At a loss, I said, “Can I help you?” “It’s Brooke.” Her name stopped me. It couldn’t possibly be her. We hadn’t spoken in years, a decade perhaps. “Brooke?” “Yeah, Brooke Baker. This is Mark, right?” Jesus Christ. It was her. “Yeah, it is Mark. Brooke. Wow. How are you? It’s been a long time since… well… since anything.” “I know.” “So, how are you doing?” “Okay, I suppose…” Her voice belied her words, though. Something was up. “I… It’s just been so long and I guess I wanted to hear your voice.” “I don’t think I had a number for you. Ever. I offered a couple of times, but…” “I was a brat back then.” And that’s how a random phone call turned into a two-and-a-half hour catch-up session. We spoke of everything under the sun: people we still knew, how different we were, h

The End of an Era and a New Beginning

It's been a long time coming, but I think an upgrade to my web presence was long overdue. I began this blog in 2005 and it's served me well over the last 13 years. My goal in those early days was to write a short story every month. Back then, that was the only writing I was doing. This website, then called "Bryan's Short Story Corner," got me into a regular writing habit. One that I still maintain today. I hoped it would help me get eyeballs on my words and, looking back at some of those early short stories, I shouldn't have wanted any of those eyeballs looking. Today, my Patreon fills that void. There is a dedicated group of supporters there that help subsidize my ability to write short stories on the regular. After I started publishing books, this blog morphed into a place to talk about my projects and writing and it worked well enough for that for a long time. But now I have Twitter and Medium for those functions and they have much cleaner and easi
