Free Online
Check out my author page on Curious Fictions, which I’m populating with ALL of my previously published work, one reprint per week at a time. All my free fiction will be there, in an easy-to-navigate, seamless online platform, and if you subscribe to my author page, you’ll get access to the rest–work that has only appeared in print, work that used to be free online (but isn’t anymore), work that can only be found in my ebook omnibus collections, and work that hasn’t been compiled into a collection yet. And if you subscribe, you’ll receive an alert each time I post a new story.
