Lubrican: Blog

In this country where roughly half of us want to go in one direction, and the other half wants to go in the other direction, let us be thankful that we can argue about it and rant about it and settle things with a vote, instead of it being settled by a dictator's soldiers.

Oh, and I'm also celebrating having the freedom to write what I want to. Even though some people would like to remove that freedom, too.

So I'm posting a new story this week. It doesn't really have a lot to do with Independence Day, other than having a soldier in it who suffers for his country when he is horribly injured. But it turns out okay. That's all I'm going to say right now.

I'm not trying to be "mysterious". You find out what the book is about in the fourth paragraph of chapter one. It's how we get there that is (I hope) the fun.

Thanks for reading,
Bob

Okay, I know I said I'd post three chapters a day of The Magic Wand, and I thought I did, just before I had to go to town for a blood draw and dentist appointment. Then I had a flat and couldn't get the lug nuts loose, so I had to call for help. The tire was ruined, (rock tear two inches long) and they made me a deal on two used ones, so the fronts would match, but it took longer. When I finally got home and checked the submission, Lazeez kindly told me I sent in chapters 1, 3 and 4, instead of chapters 1, 2 and 3. So, to avoid confusion, he only posted the foreword and chapter one.

I just sent in chapters 2 and 3, and it's still Monday, so I did post three chapters today.

I know it's a technicality, but people get off on technicalities all the time. You have to find me not guilty!

* sigh *

Hopefully tomorrow's post will go better.

I was AWOL, but now I'm back. I have what I hope is an interesting 25 chapter book that is my first (and probably only) foray into the mind control genre. It's called The Magic Wand. I'll post three chapters a day until it's done, starting Monday, May 13th.

Now I don't read a lot of mind control stories, myself, so I get it if that's not your cup of tea. But you know my motto - Give it a try. It's a Lubrican story.

This is not to toot my own horn. Not at all. I just get a lot of mail from people who say things like, "I wasn't going to read [Put book title here] because it didn't sound like my thing, but since Lubrican wrote it, I gave it a try. I was glad I did."

And if you don't like this one, that's fine. I just sent Andy a new Uncle Bob story, and when that gets back, I'll post it, too.

Now, just as an update on my earlier blog, about the keyboard issue I was wrangling with, I finally decided on one. I went to the store and tried a bunch of them out. What felt the best to me was a Logitech G513 with Romer-G (blue) switches. I'm typing this blog entry on it right now.

Initi9ally it was a disaster, but I'm getting used to it and I think I'm going to like it a lot. I wrote this whole paragraph without any errors!

Oh, there's a 9 in the first word.

Crap.

I'm not perfect after all.

Thanks to all of you who support and encourage me. I pay attention to that.

Hello happy campers. I know you all are, because the old year is out and the new is about to begin, and that means a fresh start. Right?

Oh yeah. I forgot. This is the real world.

* sigh *

Okay, but at least we can have the start of a new story. (Author bows while appreciative audience applauds at his cleverness.)

What can I say? I get all giggly this time of year.

Okay, enough with the fluff. On to what you're actually interested in.

The new story is called Model Mother and the teaser is designed to get you to open it. Do not, however think, that this is the "usual" incest story about a boy and his mommy. It's not. It's complicated by a number of factors and that makes it slow. I didn't code it that way, because it's only seven chapters long.

I posted the first three today - you get extra because I didn't give you anything for Christmas. After this, though, it will be one chapter per day. I don't want to spoil you in the new year.

That all sounds incredibly pompous and conceited, doesn't it.

Well don't frown. You made me that way, what with all those compliments and asking for more and all that.

Thanks for reading.
Bob

P.S. May the new year bring you and yours peace, prosperity and happiness.

Okay. Andy got it edited and I started posting it today.

The new story is called "A Tale of Two Nannies" and it's fifteen chapters long. I'll post one or more every day until it's finished. This one will become 'for premier members only,' a week or two after it's finished, so if you want to keep it for later, then download it as it's posted.

Now I need to take another look at the un-posted chapters. When I convert the files to the SOL format, it mangles them, sometimes, mostly when it come to apostrophes and formatting. I think I caught everything in the first chapters posted. If I didn't, let me know.

And now you know why I put that end note on everything that says mistakes are my fault. The way I work, things get changed after Michelle and Andy do their thing. And sometimes I mess things up in the process.

Thanks for reading.
