After a lot of thought, I decided to place The Kid on Amazon as well, as a short story. It's available here;
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N589PYQ .
I almost didn't place this one, but it's a pretty positive story, and I liked that about it even as I wrote it. So, I decided to share. If you want to leave a review, I'd appreciate it.
I'm re-editing Roland right now, and working on the final edit for Parno's Company, the first five chapters of which are on my blog. Hope to have them posted soon.
Thanks once more to all of you for your kind words, and your encouragement. Without them, I probably wouldn't have done any of this.
