After much deliberation, and with legally binding copyright in hand, I have decided to make this cute little book publicly available to ALL, through Gumroad!

This will be going out through all social media platforms, so that anyone and everyone can look at it, whether they love me, hate me, or love to hate me. (And there's plenty of each.)
I won't spoil anything other than, on the Heroic Timeline, this DOES happen after "The Way of the Badass".
You can just put in a 0 for the price point, or whatever you think it's worth, as it's "pay what you want". I'm not planning on making money off this, I'm just super happy to finally share it with people, especially as I've waited well past any tiny hype I may have built from months ago. (We're talking half a year; I had a lot else on my mind during that time.)
So what HAVE I been doing? Short of it involves job search, and just trying to survive the ordeals of reality. You know, all the stresses that normal people go through, I'm not above such mortal woes.
OH YEAH, and I was writing a DIFFERENT Short Bus story, formatted very similarly, which focuses on the very teacher of the Special Ed class. No spoilers, but I really like how that one is shaping up, and I think it's "almost done", but no telling when (or IF) that'll see the light of day. After all, it took me HALF A YEAR of sitting on Scarlet's story before putting it on the publicly visible web. Feel free to comment and criticize.
Semper Bellum!
