The Spoons That Are My Ears!

DABBLER IN DRABBLES is done and dusted: the Omnibus edition has just been published. There are hardback, paperback and ebook editions of this huge book. For promotional purposes, I have made the ebook free for the next three days starting right now. Here is the link for Amazon US but check out your own Amazon variants, for example Amazon UK or Amazon Spain, etc.

There are 1000 drabbles here (with the meta-inserts 1008 in total) and they are mostly self-contained microfictions, but there are mini-epics here too, cycles and sequences of tales that often overlap with each other. A huge cast of characters populate these drabbles, many of them frequent visitors to the text as it evolves through the individual stories.

Be prepared to meet Three-Armed Jake, Leo the Walking Skeleton, Travis the Stick Man, Curious Bertie, Bunny Grunter, Cranny Faddock, The Discourager, Bookmarkus Aurelius, Silverfake, the painter Elbigelli (with the illegible signature), Charlotte Creeps, Malta Witty, Fibba Flobba, Explorer Jones, Blob Hope, Spooky, Frightful and Boo, Editor Jenkins, Truman Quixote, Gothario, The Boast Gusters, Jellyfish Morton and many many more, not to mention Polyphemus, the cyclops who is telling the tales, and Chiron, the centaur who is listening to them.

This project took a lot of my time and energy and I am glad it's over at last. Curiously, among all my books, my collection of mini-sagas (stories exactly 50 words in length) has done relatively well. It remains to be seen whether this collection of drabbles will be as popular. I suspect not, but who knows for sure?
