Short Fiction
Welcome to the part of the site where you’ll find a small collection of my short stories and flash fiction.
For now I’m just posting old stuff on here, much of which has already appeared elsewhere on the interwebs, but eventually I’m hoping to be able to start posting new works.
To read an individual story please click on the Read More link next to each story, and please do feel free to leave feedback if the urge so takes you.
You may also download selected stories as ebooks for use with most eReader devices and software. Use the links provided to download the stories in either ePub format (compatible with most readers except the Kindle) or in mobi format (compatible with the Kindle). Once you’ve downloaded the files please refer to your particular eReader’s instructions to add them to your library.
