News & Views - December 2, 2007

[dude]

Hi Gang.... this is the second go at News & Views this week. Almost finished with it when the Bill Gates BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) appears. How did he know that I was testing my new Linux machine not two feet away from the Windoze one?

I'll make this one shorter as it's two minutes before midnight here as I start this. No new novels or short stories this week... just a solid supply of updated chapters of current serial novels. Fixing A Broken Heart by Rad Stevens wraps up this week... a great little story I enjoyed reading. Thanks Rad! Also, I am happy to announce the debut of a new serial novel by popular author Rick Beck this coming weekend. Rick is back at the keys after a hiatus of about four years and we're delighted that he has chosen to make his new web home at AwesomeDude.

As it IS past midnight here in Borneo, with your permission I'll just cut to the chase... and give you the story updates for this week:

Fixing A Broken Heart - Rad Steven - Chapter 12 **FINAL**

Thanks for the kind words on how the site looks, lately and the especially nice ones about AwesomeDude Radio.

Well, I for one am very appreciative and thankful for you and all the tech people who make this site possible. And as to that royalty check I received, some one forgot to put a number of value in back of all those zeroes, an oversight I'm sure.

Thanks again for a great site.

"Royalty check" more like a reality check.

I echo Steven's remarks. Thanks for all the hard work and effort for AwesoneDude.
