Smashing Words


This is a shameless plug for a short story I just wrote and published on smashwords.com called "Puppet."  You can check it out via https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/234868  My author page is https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/what0607 The primary reason for my using smashwords is that you get several different formats: PDF, kindle, etc. when you publish via that outlet.

Also, smashwords is free.  Not that I'm cheap or anything.  OK, so I am cheap but smashwords is still a great place to find good e-books.

The story itself is about an alien invasion by a race of critters that look like blobs of mercury and that have the ability to "possess" human beings by attaching to their backs.  The book is free and is intended to be the first in a series of two or three more books detailing the story of a boy and his blob.  The book is based on Robert A. Heinlein's book The Puppet Masters.
