I was poking around online one afternoon way back in the stone age (which, if i remember correctly, was roughly three or four years ago) when i came across a fantastic short story. I was delighted to find a story and characters that were both entertaining and realistic. And it probably didn’t hurt that i’m a total outdoors junkie and said story involved chicks with kayaks.
Anyway, to make a long story short, i recently decided to see if i could find it again. I’d forgotten everything except the plot and that “Some” and “River” were somewhere in the title. Obviously, i found it. I’m really pleased to see that it’s now published. “Some Kind of River” is definitely worth paying for (i bought the Nook version).
So i know it’s a bit late, but congratulations on having your work published. I look forward to sitting down and catching up on your other stuff. Keep it up!
