It is the first of what will be several of my scribblings&#8211;both short stories and novels&#8211;to appear as ebooks.  The price for the short story will be $2.99, though if you&#8217;re an Amazon Prime member you will be able to borrow it for free for a month.  <em>Timewinder<\/em> is a Christmas themed story, which is part of the reason I wanted to get it up as soon as I could at the beginning of December.  What&#8217;s it about? To put it into just a couple of sentences: What happens when the editor of the New York Sun meets the Timewinder, also known as Santa Claus, one bright day in 1897?  And how does it affect a little girl named Virginia?<\/p>\n<p>\tThis short story was original published in <em>Vision Science Fiction<\/em> #16 in 1993.  It was the first piece of writing I was actually ever paid for.  <em>Vision Science Fiction<\/em> was a small press magazine and long ago ceased publication. As I recall, I was paid eight dollars for the story.  I put the story up on this blog for a few days, but now that it is going on the Kindle, Amazon&#8217;s rules state that they get it exclusively for the next ninety days.  Thus, I have deleted the story from the earlier post, but for the opening paragraph as a teaser.<br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00AHHOF5M\" title=\"Timewinder\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41jDGIp-wcL._AA278_PIkin4,BottomRight,-46,22_AA300_SH20_OU01_.jpg\" title=\"Timewinder\" class=\"alignnone\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00AHHOF5M\" title=\"Timewinder\" target=\"_blank\">Timewinder is now available as an ebook from Amazon<\/a>.<\/center><\/p>\n<div class='kindleWidget kindleLight' ><img src=\"https:\/\/nettelhorst.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/plugins\/send-to-kindle\/media\/white-15.png\" \/><span>Send to Kindle<\/span><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last night I published a short story, Timewinder, on the Amazon Kindle.
