Can I post a picture?

Can I post a picture? Maybe... Let's see...

Yes. I guess I can! Found this on my drive from two or three years ago. Pictured: Author Richard Howes riding horses... Kinda goes along with the horse-riding detective in "The Killer's Co-op" mystery novel... eh?

All ebook formats supported

I've been hearing about smashwords and I intended to go there to look around in the last few weeks, but I was busy getting my book ready for the kindle and paperback. I finally did it... It was easy as pie to upload and they assigned an ISBN number for free. My book, The Killer's Co-op, is now in ALL eReader and eBook device formats, for a limited time set at only $0.99

If you are wondering what The Killer's Co-op is about... Bob is a horse riding and horse training detective...
A murder staged as a railroad accident soon leads Acting Sheriff Robert Schwimer to the cold-case shotgun death of a sociopath teenager and a series of murders, and kidnappings. With the current sheriff’s corruption scandal; a State Coroner fighting the County Medical Examiner. Bob is racing across the Massachusetts South Shore to neutralize the killers before they neutralize him.

Good reading!

String of Pearls and Get Smart

Okay, this is gonna be eclectic and "totally random" but listen to it for yourself...

Did anyone ever notice that the Get Smart theme music sounds exactly like the Glenn Miller Orchestra playing "String of Pearls" at time stamp 1:12 to 1:18?

Let's see what youtube has to say...
Go to String of Pearls time stamp 1:15

And let's compare that to Get Smart Time stamp 0:08

Am I right?
