I just posted the first chapter of Redeye. There are 24 chapters.

RTF files, mobis, epubs, and PDFs are available from the Spearfish Lake Tales Store Redeye page. Sales on Lulu for hardcopies, epubs and PDFs have also been enabled.

Preorders have been shipped.

Very often when I put up a new story there are html bugs that don't show up when I tested it locally. I will be around until around Midnight EDT to deal with any of those issues that you bring to my attention, or to ship out orders that have come in.

Have fun reading Redeye!

-- Wes

Having cheated and bought the pre-order, I have only one word to say about the story, after reading it -

AWESOME

Half of the blurb is sensationalistic hyperbole that makes one expect a ghost story. But actually this scenario plays only a very cursory role in the story so I feel somewhat cheated. And Ann didn't "lure" Steve to Wychbold, which suggests a sinister plot, she asked him on behalf of his uncle.

The last chapters are more a synopsis of what happened at the end. They read as if Wes lost the motivation to finish the story properly.

Still, mostly it's nicely written in the usual Wes Boyd style, so I rate this story a B-
