With the coming of spring, so too arrives the last two chapters in the second part of my self-publishing experiment at RedLemona.de. With the posting of Chapters 2.4 and 2.5, this section of the novel Someone Liche You is now online.

It was all old tech in here. Slow, reliable old-tech that, when it invariably broke, he could take it apart and fix it. He didn’t have to grow replacement parts in a dish. Nothing in his junk mine skirted that weird line between living thing and vacuum cleaner. It was his. And he was its master.

Yesterday these two chapters were but a single chapter– strange things happen as I re-work some of these rougher chapters for publication. In these chapters we’re introduced to Gregor’s Junk Mine and start to get a little insight into special kind of libertarian that Gregor Samsa believes himself to be. Oh, don’t let the use of political homily scare you. This novel is not about conservatives vs. progressives. It’s really the story about a very special corgi. The last thing I want you to walk away from this novel thinking is “it was pretty good but I wish there had been more corgi.”

As of right now, Someone Liche You, Part Two: A Monstrous Vermin is complete.

The official album to listen to while reading this section is Oingo Boingo’s Farewell: Life from The Universal Amphitheater – Halloween 1995

Where do we go from here?

Part Three: Subtitle forthcoming returns us to the main storyline. Kevin hits the streets of an empty city in search of his undead girlfriend’s mother. Ooo! Exciting!
