How long should an e-book be?
Abraham Lincoln was often mocked by his detractors for his lanky height. When one asked how long a man's legs really needed to be, he responded with dry wit: "Long enough to reach the ground."
The same is true for e-books. They need to be long enough to get the job done, but the exact length doesn't matter.
Of course, they should be priced accordingly. CHOKE HOLD is a complete story, told in only about 16,000 words - a novelette by print standards. So I priced it at .99 cents because any more seemed an unfair fee for the length of the content. But that's the freedom of e-books over print - one author can write a shorter book meant to be a fast-paced read, another author can write a long book meant to be slowly savored, and both can be a success!

Hooray!
What's it about, you wonder? Here's the summary:
"Disturbed and ominous ... a thriller with the strangest hero you'll ever meet..."
Malcolm Drake is a thief by trade.
Judge Malachy O'Casey - the local law who also happens to run the area's organized crime - sees Drake's potential, and welcomes him into his lawless underworld.
But a clever double-cross by one of his clientele has Drake framed for the judge's sudden downfall, and O'Casey orders all of Drake's former partners-in-crime to hunt him down.
It's a race against time to discover who set Drake up - before O'Casey has him killed.
Can the thief who thrives on danger handle the pressure - or will death finally claim the man who's taunted it one too many times..?
Though it's a quick and easy read, CHOKE HOLD is a thriller that may still be disturbing for some readers...
