Contentment was not the Puritan way. Unnecessary hardship, unwavering resolve, and a detailed condemnation of any sexual act, that was the Puritan way, and if Martin was going to do this, by God, he was going to do this as a proper Puritan.

The hope, ultimately, was to attract the famed preacher Increase Mather to town. He could sign copies of his books, give sermons, really put Shepherd’s Crook on the map.

As mobs went, it was pretty good. No elder went untorched. No young man went unpitchforked. Women wept and gnashed their teeth.

CHAPTER 4

The mob of Shepherd’s Crook, 1680 edition, stormed the home of the demon, sorcerer, and suspected vampyr Yulric Bile. As mobs went, it was pretty good. No elder went untorched. No young man went unpitchforked. Women wept and gnashed their teeth. John Farthing brought his new gun. John Cross had smithed some chains. Benjamin Moss broke down the door to his 100th citadel of sin, with some assistance from his son, John. Cider was drunk, hymns were sung, and a fine time was . . .

      Happy Friday Everyone,

      It's the final weekend of the Sword and Laser contest. In less than three days, we will know whether or not this novel I started working on four years ago will forgo the dreaded drawer it seemed destined for and have its day in the sun (at which point it will crumble to ash...being about vampires and all.) My plan for the next several days is to reflexively update the contest page watching for every book sold for me (YAY!) and for others (PANIC!), because that seems like a healthy use of my time.

      While I do that, here are somethings you can do to help in these closing days:
      1) Receive a great big thank you from me. (THANK YOU!) 

      2) If you have not preordered your copy of An Unattractive Vampire yet, now is the time. Remember, I will be grateful. ETERNALLY grateful. Help you move WITHOUT the promise of pizza level grateful. So, if you've got a couch that would look better over there, hit that preorder button today!

      3) If you have already preordered (thank you), spread the word. Tell friends, tell family members, tell the dread spirits you have summoned with your ill-advised use of a Ouija board. Also, you can help spread the word by hitting the "Recommend" button on my novel's Inkshares page. It's just below the sample chapter. I'll wait while you find it.
      ...
      Got it? Hit it and recommend it to other people. This also helps An Unattractive Vampire be "Buzzworthy" and puts it on the front page of Inkshares.

      Also, if you're like me and you (normally) feel icky about pushing things on other people, you can take a less agressive role by reading through the excerpts I've put up and highlighting parts you like. This also results in buzzworthiness.

      We're nearly at the finish line, so as a wise man once said (before being eaten by disproportionately large velocipraptors), "Hold onto your butts."
