Welcome to the Heibel Media Newsletter 
April 2014   


I hope you're enjoying my stories!  Every month I release a new story and readers of my newsletter and blog get the story first.  This month I've fallen behind, not because of E. Little Larry, but by life in general and two moves in particular.  I'm moving from house to storage unit to condo and moving my business from one location to another---in three weeks time.  I'm nuts!  My output is low, but I'm still writing!  New story this month is Letting Go. It's a love story with a bit of a twist.

The month of April should be stronger to finish then March.  I'll wrap up the Write 365 Initiatvie April 10 and start a new one April 11.  That is about when we should have the business move and house move settled and I can write in earnest--if Little E. stays out of the way.


I've been playing with a new character too. E. Little Larry can be found on Facebook and is the personification of Writer's Block.  Just something fun and I hope you'll follow him on Facebook  .

Want to follow my progress as I write my stories?  I update that every Thursday at Heibel Media.com.  Link to that below.

So read on and enjoy my stories!
