The Old West Kindle Edition

by W. G. Sweet (Author)  Format: Kindle Edition

The Old West is a collection of five western themed stories set in the old west. Come along for an authentic trip through the west, the way it really was.

Jimson Jones, Sarah Johnson, The Cowboy, The Farmers Wife, To Hang a Thief

An excerpt from: Sarah Jones

One starless night, the tranquility of Harmony Creek was irrevocably broken. The rhythmic chirping of crickets was replaced by the terrifying sounds of shattering glass and panicked screams. A nightmare descended upon the peaceful farm. The familiar comfort of home was replaced by a brutal violence, a darkness that would sear itself into Sarah’s memory forever.

The Streets
By Wendell Sweet
One evening, I found myself back at the scene of the car accident—the snow-covered road where my life nearly ended. The scars on my body served as tangible reminders of that brutal night; the emotional scars were far deeper. The silence was deafening, broken only by the occasional rustle of the wind. The cold night air, the harsh sounds of snow crunching under my boots; it all was reminiscent of the night that would nearly cost my life. Standing there, I felt a wave of sadness, a flicker of the old fear, but it quickly subsided. The trauma was still there, woven into the fabric of my being, but it no longer controlled me. I had faced it, processed it, and emerged stronger.#True #NonFiction #Crime #Memoir #Kindle #KU Kindle:

Using a free AI source to generate a book-outline for you, BTW: The photo above was also generated with a free AI, META in this case…

There are a few absolutely free sources and the ones I will use are the same ones you can use, browsers. Meta has its own, and Chrome has its own. So I will use those two and post the prompt and the results. First META.

The Prompt I typed into META: Can you give me a book outline for a romantic novel. It should follow a standard Romance Novel outline. It should have a few plot twists. It should have a love interest for the main female character.

The Result: Here’s a romantic novel outline with a few plot twists:

Title: “The Art of Falling”

Main Character: Alexandra “Lexi” Thompson, a talented but struggling artist in her late 20s.

Love Interest: Ethan James, a successful art gallery owner in his early 30s.

Story Outline:

Act I:

  • Lexi’s struggling to make a name for herself in the competitive art world, working multiple jobs to make ends meet.
  • She meets Ethan at an art gallery opening, where her art is featured without her knowledge or permission.
  • Ethan is drawn to Lexi’s talent and feisty personality, but their first meeting ends in conflict.

Act II:

  • Ethan offers Lexi a show at his gallery, but she refuses, suspicious of his motives.
  • Lexi’s best friend and confidant, Sarah, convinces her to reconsider, and Lexi agrees to meet with Ethan.
  • As they work together, Lexi and Ethan’s chemistry becomes undeniable, but their pasts and fears threaten to derail their relationship.
  • Plot Twist: Ethan’s business partner is revealed to be Lexi’s ex-boyfriend, who sabotaged her art career and broke her trust.

Act III:

  • Lexi’s feelings of betrayal and hurt resurface, causing tension between her and Ethan.
  • As they work through their issues, Lexi and Ethan grow closer, and their feelings deepen.
  • Complication: A rival art gallery owner tries to poach Lexi, offering her a lucrative deal that could compromise her artistic integrity.
  • Climax: Lexi must choose between her art and her feelings for Ethan. She decides to stay true to herself and her art, and Ethan commits to supporting her.

Resolution:

  • Lexi’s art career takes off, thanks to Ethan’s support and guidance.
  • Lexi and Ethan confess their love for each other, and the novel ends on a hopeful note.

Themes:

  • Trust and vulnerability
  • Following one’s passion
  • Overcoming fear and self-doubt

Potential for subplots:

  • Lexi’s friendship with Sarah
  • Ethan’s past heartbreak and commitment issues
  • The rivalry between Ethan’s gallery and the rival gallery owner

This outline provides a standard romance novel structure with a few plot twists to keep things interesting. The themes of trust, vulnerability, and following one’s passion are woven throughout the story, and the supporting characters add depth and complexity to the narrative.


Here is the Chrome, Gemini result:

The Prompt is the same: Can you give me a book outline for a romantic novel. It should follow a standard Romance Novel outline. It should have a few plot twists. It should have a love interest for the main female character.

The Result: That sounds like a fun project! A solid outline is the foundation of any great novel.

Here is a standard, 3-Act structure outline for a Romantic Novel, complete with a few plot twists and the introduction of a love interest for the main female character (FMC).

There you go, two free sources that you can generate a book outline from. Let me know what you think. I do have a paid account, but that would be a different scenario in that it has to do it, I pay for it. This is something anyone can do absolutely free. There are other browsers that also have built in AI that you can use to do the same thing. Hope this helped you to realize that you can use AI, not be afraid of it, Dell…

The fall and rebirth of a Kingpin Kindle Edition

    by W. G. Sweet 

    #Crime #Fiction #Amazon #KU #Kindle #WGSweet #Mafia #Organizedcrime

    Book 2 of 2: Kingpin

    The city sprawled beneath him, a glittering tapestry woven with threads of ambition and illuminated by a million indifferent stars. From the aerie of his penthouse, high above the cacophony of the streets, Vinny LaRosa surveyed his kingdom. It wasn’t a kingdom of stone and mortar, but of shadow and influence, a sprawling, illicit empire that pulsed with a life of its own. The lights weren’t just streetlamps and neon signs; they were signals, markers of territories controlled, deals brokered, and lives manipulated. Each flicker was a testament to his reach, a silent acknowledgment of the power he wielded. This was the zenith, the apex of his ascent, a plateau of opulence built on a foundation of calculated ruthlessness and an almost supernatural understanding of the human appetite for both order and chaos. #Crime #Fiction #Amazon #KU #Kindle #WGSweet #Mafia #Organizedcrime

    Book 1 of 2: Kingpin

    The city breathed with a rhythm all its own, a symphony of sounds and smells that were as much a part of Vinnie LaRosa as his own heartbeat. Little Italy, mid-20th century, was a vibrant, chaotic organism, its narrow streets a pulsing artery crammed with life. From the cramped tenements that clawed at the sky, their fire escapes a tangled lace against the brick, to the bustling trattorias that spilled the rich, intoxicating aroma of simmering tomato sauces and roasted garlic onto the cobblestones, the neighborhood was a constant, humming presence. Laundry flapped like colorful prayer flags from windows, a cacophony of Italian dialects spilled from doorways, and the ever-present rumble of streetcars added a bass note to the urban opera. #Crime #Fiction #Amazon #KU #Kindle #WGSweet #Mafia #Organizedcrime

    by Dell Sweet (Author)  Format: Kindle Edition

    The whispers of the undead were not confined to gothic novels or campfire stories; they were woven into the hidden history of the city, particularly within the shadowy tapestry of the Valois lineage. For generations, the family had been privy to this ancient truth, a truth that set them apart, a truth that granted them a terrible longevity and a terrifying power. This wasn’t a history learned from books, but a legacy inherited, a curse passed down, a dark bargain that had been struck in the shadows of centuries past, ensuring their continued dominance. #Vampire #Vampires #Horror #Readers #KU #Amazon
