Having recently released a novella of my own, I was pleasantly surprised to see Blockade Billy for sale in the stores. I knew that releasing short publications is risky, but when I finished my story, I realized that I was just that; finished. I could have beefed up and made the tale longer, but I would have only been adding fluff. I salute you, Mr. King, for having the guts to continuously release your shorter stories. I've been a big fan for decades and will continue to be one. Incidentally, I thoroughly enjoyed BB and can see a movie based on it hitting the big screen some day. Hopefully, your example will help all fledgling authors as they try to succeed. Thanks again for being a true purveyor of the story, as you envision it!
