As part of the Charactered Pieces: stories preorder, I promised to fill every copy with the delicious smell of ACID cigars, as part of the completely made up Lungs for Readers program. The experiment semi-failed, as most of the books instead acquired the nasty smell of burnt paper and stale smoke. Lesson learned. Though still, the books are special, containing, in addition to the ‘dive-bar’ flavor, VERY personal inscriptions, limited numbering, and random bits of trash I’ve been meaning to toss. You’re welcome, readers.

Take in the shenanigans above, set to the sweet sounds of Cecada and helped by my friends at ArtJerk.net.

Thanks to everyone!

You can buy Charactered Pieces: stories at Amazon.com or direct from the publisher.

About Caleb J Ross

Caleb began writing his sophomore year of undergrad study when, tired of the formal art education then being taught, he abandoned the pursuit in the middle of a compositional drawing class. Major-less and fearful of losing his financial aid, he signed up to seek a degree in English Literature for no other reason than his lengthy history with the language. Coincidentally, this decision not only introduced him to writing but to reading as well. Prior this transition he had read three books. One of which he understood.
