Taking a break from Booksie to work on my writing projects.

Dec 1, 2012
Just won a 7 day Caribbean cruise on Friday, departing Miami on Sunday. My laptop is out for repair so now you know why I have been off line for awhile. We love the FUN SHIPS!

Nov 27, 2012
Removed the two Under Development Stories. Swapped Elvira for Natalie Avelon as Avatar.

Sep 16, 2012
I have just created a working story section in which I can switch in and out stories for criticism and yet they remain unpublished. This story is called UNDER DEVELOPEMENT 1 (SKANKY BITCH).

Feb 9, 2012
I just finished the short story Jeremy the Germ. I will be publishing a chapter at a time here on Booksie. For those who can't wait, go to Smashwords and download the whole book (10,582 words) for free. Please let me know what you think.

Attention Booksians.

I am taking a hiatus from Booksie to concentrate on writing projects.

Welcome

If you have 5 minutes, please read JIMMY'S GIRL FRIEND, my most popular and favorite story. It may confound you.

If you have 3 minutes, please read A CRUEL LEGACY, a real story that should disturb you, if you care about others.

If you have 20 minutes, please read JEREMY THE GERM, Planetary Crime Fighter, a blend of crime, revenge for bullying, and extraterrestrials.

Please feel free to leave your comments after each story.

Currently I am working on the novel which will explain "the rest of the story" about Jimmy's Girl Friend and some other projects.

Some Recommendations

To help new writers with writing, I recommend HOW TO CONSTRUCT A SHORT STORY and EDITING FOR BOOKSIE by myeditorfriend, who usually critiques stories for me.

To help and encourage aspiring writers with this vocation of writing, I recommend HOW TO MAKE A CAREER AS AN AUTHOR by myeditorfriend.

Another author puts it her way in WHAT NOT TO DO ON BOOKSIE by teampeeta99.

Note: I always click LIKE when I read a story because Booksie remembers, so I know if I have read the story before or not. Also, it encourages our authors!

Happy reading and writing,

Ben A. Vanguarde
