It's hard to believe this is the 37th issue of this labor of love I've published. I really do love it, but it really is labor. I'll keep on keepin' on, but there are a couple of things I need that I'm turning to you, the reader of The End, to maybe help with.
The first is a big ask: I need some development help. I'm getting by on a shaky CMS and an ever-growing spreadsheet, both of which are straining. So if you've got dev chops and are interested in contributing to this labor of love, please get in touch.
The second is smaller: Would you consider supporting The End with a small monthly contribution? Any funds received will pour right back into The End itself (see above). So if $4.99 a month is something you can swing without being a financial burden, know it will be greatly appreciated.
Enough begging. Let's get started!

Underwood and Flinch is a three-time Parsec award-winning vampire audiobook saga by Mike Bennett.
“If you think vampire tales are a worn-out genre, Underwood and Flinch will shock and delight you.” Walt Kolenda, Examiner.com.
For hundreds of years, the eldest-born male of each generation of the Flinch family has been servant and guardian to the vampire, Lord Underwood. While the Flinches have changed through the generations, Underwood has remained eternal. David Flinch had hoped to be spared the horror of serving his family’s lord and master, but when he is summoned to the Flinch home in Spain by his dying older brother, he knows his luck has run out. After fifty years of slumber, Underwood is to be resurrected from the grave in a ritual of human sacrifice, and David, by right of succession, is to be his resurrector. But there is another Flinch, one who craves the role of guardian to the vampire: David’s sister, Lydia. It’s a job she means to have, even if it means making David’s the first blood shed in this new age of Underwood and Flinch.
“Bennett’s ‘Underwood and Flinch’ saga is the best hidden literary gem in existence. Experience the same thrill you have when you find an unsigned underground band that blows your mind.” P.J. Parrish. Editor-in-Chief: Tennessee Valley Business Journal
