Short fiction

Individual short stories start out free.After around 1000 downloads I'll usually make them 99-cents because nobody gets rich by giving away everything for free.

They will eventually appear in anthologies but I'll base that on the 1970's music industry - no more than two singles per album and the rest made up on new stuff. The big difference will be that anthologies will be available in print as well as electronic. I tried putting some shorts in print but the cost was far too much.

This page will need frequent updating. I'll keep the free ones at the top.


Shorts on line.

A Little Knowledge...

 
Take two brothers, one smart but physically weak, the other strong but not so bright. When the strong but inexpert brother picks up an old and dusty book, then it soon becomes clear that a little knowledge can be far worse than none at all.

Room Service

Nightwatchman at a cemetery is not the most romantic of occupations but you'd think it would be an easy one. It's not as if the residents are going to be any trouble.

Not until the night they start demanding room service.
