On a whim-- Okay, if you count the number of times I submitted it, it was more like two whims-- I decided to submit a link to my latest story on the 'Front Page of the Internet,' Reddit.com. What happened next was completely insane.

In a matter of hours, I'm #2 in the 'Humor' ranking. This alone was exciting enough. When I went to bed that night, my story (The Devil Still Has My Lawnmower) was already the most popular blog post on my site, clocking in more than 300 unique hits. When I woke up later, though, there were four times that. And I was absolutely stomping out the competition, which included an article from The Onion.

The Onion!

It's like I've finally found the Fountain of Youth. The Pot of Gold at the end of the rainbow. Suddenly, all is right with the world.

I really can't thank you enough, Redditors! You've made my day, my week, AND my month. Your complements and well wishes are much appreciated! Really, you guys are fantastic!

Also, did you know that I wrote a novel?

Did you know that you can read it on the Internet?

Did you know that you can read it on the Internet for free?

Did you know that it has a truly bitchin' cover by my friend Kent Mudle of Beretcomic.com?

Well, all these things are totally true! And you can even click on the totally neat cover below (which I have included for your convenience) and it'll take you straight to the Table of Contents page on Eat Your Serial. Every Thursday, a new chapter comes out!

Really, guys, this is amazing. I just can't thank you enough. I sure hope you'll stick around!
