Press Release: Death in Disguise launch

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Gabbard Launches First Book on Amazon

Cincinnati, OH, April 21, 2011 – Author James Gabbard has released his first book, Death in Disguise, for purchase on Amazon.com and Kindle e-book readers.

This is the first time Gabbard has released a short story collection on the website, previously launching his first collection on Lulu.

“I'm excited to finally bring my work to a platform so many people use every day. With Amazon and Kindle, I can bring my book to people faster and more efficient than ever before,” Gabbard said.

Gabbard also states he has plans to launch on Barnes and Noble's Nook, and hopes to expand his website, A Simple Letter, to include more than what he's working on.

“Art can be found anywhere, and I love the idea of not just creating the art myself but displaying artwork that some people may never have found before. Whether it be writing, painting or even just something odd I hope people will send them in to be posted.”

Currently there are plans to relaunch the site, moving away from the Blogger format. Gabbard also has plans to start YouTube series and write a full-length book based on his short story The Connection.

“I'm hoping that it turns out to be a more modern look at what Facebook and Twitter might become in the future. Science continues to move faster every day, and sometimes those things can be scary to think about.”

A Simple Letter was founded in 2009, originally started as a blog to showcase short stories.

A Stroll In Northside

I was with my friend last night when we came upon this in the window of a costume shop. We don't know if the shop was still operating or not, but we felt somewhat creeped out by it.
