I am uploading a first draft of the chapter called, "Abduction."

I will follow that chapter with one called, "Roswell Revisited." These two chapters go hand in hand, so I will get to work on finishing that next.

So here you go, "Abduction." I hope it hits the spot!

Here’s a teaser for the upcoming chapter, "Abduction." I’ll post the rest of it tomorrow. :-)

His reflection overlapped the stylish dress on the mannequin on the other side of the storefront window. “Beautiful,” he thought, and then gazed over to the other items on the elegant display. Window shopping on Michigan Avenue, Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, was always a special treat for Bill Henry. No one knew him here. He could let down his guard a little bit. He was free to shop, and dream. He walked into the store and on impulse bought the dress. “A graduation present,” he flushed to the clerk.

“Doctor” Henry. He still couldn’t believe the years of research and study were over- years of class work, field work, papers, presentations, dissertations, and being on someone else’s schedule. At thirty years old, it was hard to believe that his life was now his own.

Henry walked out of the store, bag in hand. He leisurely strolled down Michigan Avenue, appreciating the window displays, and the variety of people hurrying along on the busy street. It all seemed so alive, so real, such a far cry from the stodgy world of higher education in Boston.

He decided to head back to his room at The Drake. He was looking forward to dressing up, and then ordering room service for a nice dinner in the privacy of his own room. He had never dared to dress up in public.

Daydreaming, he did not see them coming. He didn’t notice the black Ford Crown Victoria that slowly cruised past him and stopped at the curb a short distance ahead...

Sorry about the glitch on my last update. Hopefully you will all receive this one.

This is my occasional request, directed to the Mission 51 followers who have yet to purchase a pre-order.

Please help me get to 65 before the end of the weekend. That’s only 5 pre-orders. It doesn’t sound like much, but it would really help me stay on track. If you can find it in your heart and in your pocketbook, I would be forever grateful! Help Mission 51 get off the ground!

Oh, and BTW, I return pre-orders if you just ask.

Fernando Crôtte liked an update for LOUISIANA BLOOD - A Chandler Travis and Duke Lanoix mystery

Hi there knife wielding swamp sucking fans of the greatest conspiracy ever uncovered! Hot news! LOUISIANA BLOOD has now been picked by two syndicates as book of the month!

In March it was selected by The Idiosyncraticate Syndicate, a great bunch of enthusiasts who believe that there is a place for innovative thrillers and mysteries to hold their own against alien zombie monsters on the moon Sci-Fi space operas…join up by signing in HERE!

And now, The Thriller Night Syndicate, supporting works with elements of thriller, mystery, crime and spy fiction has voted Louisiana Blood book of the month for April! You can join up by going HERE!

What does this mean? I hear you cry, as you interrupt a pleasent evenings dismemberment…

Well, it means I’m only a short blood spurt from reaching the Quill publishing goal of 250 pre-orders. I reckon by the time you read this update I will be sidling towards 200…which means I only need 50 or so followers to pre-order. Now as there are approximately 180 of you, that only means less than a third of you have to put your mojitos down, slither off your recliners, scoop up your Ipads (Other sexy computer tablets are available.) and tap a talon on the book cover below. Or HERE!

Within seconds you can be back to your mojito and I can be sharpening my book-signing quill. Don’t forget you’ll also get the Louisiana Blood bonus script AND, an entry into the raffle to win $100!

What are you waiting for? Brimming with anticipatory thanks, Mike.

Tabi!

Received your "Five Minutes" today in the mail. Very much looking forward to the read, and to the eventual "Scribbles."

I love your promotions. I might look into your idea of using a DeviantArt artist to illustrate my book.

Peace!

Ferd.
