(Click the Image for a Clear View.) #ABPOS The Thinner Soul, Chp. 35 Kaylin - I wasn't sure how it had happened, but I received a letter from Ample Sound releasing me from our diplomacy.  It was a friendly agreement that said Ample Records would continue to use my songwriting skills as long as there was no concerted effort by K-Ezra to compete with Ample Sound.  It was good for me, and I had easily signed on.  It didn't make me a business ally, but a sort of friend.  Now it wasn't clear what I would become. I took the letter and laid it down in a pile of other things that meant I needed to run faster.  They were indications that something in the eco system of my business had changed.  These things didn't call for rest or rejuvenation, but locomotive. My phone call to Radiance however, did required some fallback.  I'd heard about Eaton over two days ago.  It was all over the news that he was last seen in Russia where he was being held illega...

Nominations for "Best U-Turn" in the unfolding Suspended-Release Novel, A Better Pair of Shoes "The Thinner Soul" go to: Kaylin, Radiance, Reece, and Jeff. Excerpts for the Finalists: Radiance - "We hadn't spoken everyday in a while.  I knew from his voice that he knew where we were.  When he arrived at my door, I could also tell by his eyes.  We hugged for a long while, then he kissed me near my ear.  I held his hand and led him to my closet. 'You'll never understand unless you see it.'    I reassured, and when he had seen it, he quickly backed out of the space.." Jeff - "I sat on the edge of the bed prolonging my routine.  It was definitely an end of the day type of conversation.  I knew it was bigger than lunch.  It had the feeling of a Sunday morning kind of dialogue, but I squeezed it into the middle of the week.  ...

I knew it wasn't her fault for not knowing about Eaton.  She was only living up to her reputation, and whatever role she'd agreed to play in the game her and Radiance always seemed to be engaged in.  When I saw her review and the timing, I knew we were busted.  It was deep, and there was a bit of showboating, but it played well with her innocence. Her description of the stark white dress Radiance had worn on stage in Russia labeled as only her second favorite wedding dress behind a dress she'd seen once in a day's dream that she promised to tell the audience all about in due time, was her signature style briefing.  It was what her readers lived for.  Her knowledge for things that couldn't easily be imagined.  Like how the gown she'd seen was even more spectacular than her own dress, which she described as a steal away de...

(Click on the Image for a Clear View) #ABPOS The Thinner Soul, Chp. 31 Eaton - Since I had met Radiance, I'd only given a piece of my heart away. It was all encompassing, and then it wasn't.  I'd tripped them both.  They had each recovered, but it didn't matter to Unger as long as they had been properly derailed.  She'd eventually taken that piece of my heart back, and when I heard her let him down, I knew it wasn't just the principle of the matter why she wanted the last piece.  Seeing her in front of me fully immersed in the tribulations of my hidden world, also let me know I wasn't alone in my whole-hearted love. It was hard to talk freely, but we'd managed to convey everything we felt.  I was ran over and weak, but her presence brought elect...

  (Click on the Image for a Clear View.) #ABPOS The Thinner Soul, Chp. 29 Kaylin - I had not expected to hear about any tour dates for maybe another eight months when the chatter about Radiance in Russia hit my comment section. It wasn't too late, and I decided to be there. It was great timing, and a pop up concert was just the right kind of excitement.  Being the end of summer was also a plus.  I didn't get the invite, but I knew my readers didn't care about the ins and outs of the business or our relationship.  I had one single job, and I knew what it was. I'd shared the news about the ownership of the Ample Records name with Kayla, and she was even more surprised than I was.  Neither one of us were able to imagine what exact set of circumstances had made that possible.  Sam was Ample, and everybody knew that.  Even our best efforts to uncover how she outsmarted everyone led us nowhere. It was even new news to Ketly.  It certainly couldn't have ...
