My New Suspense / Thriller Short Story Is Out Now!

March 13, 2016July 19, 2016 William Aicher

About a month ago, I published my first short story: ‘Secret: A Creepy Little Bedtime Story.’ In the time since its release its been read by quite a few of you, and has gotten some great reviews. To follow this, I’ve decided to release a new short story on Kindle every month, and I’m happy to announce that May’s release, ‘Pretty When You Sleep,’ is available now! Like ‘Secret,’ ‘Pretty When You Sleep’ is what I’m calling “a creepy little bedtime story.” It’s a short little piece, written as something…

My ‘Secret’ Is Out

February 19, 2016 William Aicher

As I continue edits and revisions on my new novel, ‘A Confession,’ I’ve decided to release something new in the meantime. ‘Secret’ is what I am calling “a creepy little bedtime story” and is a short little thriller I wrote in between phases of ‘A Confession.’ While completely unrelated, and much more a thriller / horror story, it is still a tale of the mundane and hidden horrors and secrets in our closets. At only about 2800 words, it’s a quick read, which is why I have it priced at…

Celluloid Cowboy: What Indie Publishing is For

July 1, 2009July 1, 2009 William Aicher

With the experiences I’ve had so far as an independent author, I’ve come across quite a few like-minded individuals. The problem is that some of them aren’t that great at writing something that grabs me (sorry, but it’s true). Some of them, however, are. This is where Scott C. Rogers falls with his debut, Celluloid Cowboy. To be honest, at first I really wasn’t very interested in reading his book. The cover art definitely screamed indie, and the premise seemed a bit cliche (man’s life sucks, is presented with chance…

Why I Don’t Like Reading Books

December 30, 2008December 30, 2008 William Aicher

As a person who loves reading and has bought and read literally thousands of books, I never thought I’d say it, but I don’t like reading books anymore. It’s not that I don’t enjoy reading stories, or novels, nonfiction, etc. – it’s that I don’t like reading books. That’s right, the ink-on-paper all bound in one big lump of dead tree things. I can’t stand them. Ever since getting my Kindle I’ve become more and more accustomed to reading on its e-ink display. For a while it was all I…

#1 Reason to Buy an Amazon Kindle

October 30, 2008November 6, 2008 William Aicher

The other day I wrote a post about seven reasons to buy a Kindle from Amazon. Today I’m adding one more reason to the list – and as far as I’m concerned it’s the most important reason of all. No, it’s not Oprah’s recent recommendation/endorsement.
