Read MoreScratching My Head Over Smashwords
So it’s been almost two weeks since my month of freebies over at Smashwords ended, and first off, let me just say wow! over how many free copies of my stories have been downloaded. In the past I’ve sort of brushed off Smashwords, mostly because I really dislike the fact that they won’t let you submit an .epub file to upload books, but instead have to use a Word document and their clunky meatgrinder.

Read MoreFinal Freebie Friday – Skullcrusher Mountain
Wow, December flew by. As in, literally flew. It’s the 30th? Yikes! Anyway, the fifth and final Freebie Friday story is now posted at Smashwords.

I’ll wait while you do that. Okay, now that you’ve...
Read MoreFreebie Friday – Equinox

Another Friday, another free short story on Smashwords! This one is “Hunter’s Heart,” a Snow White pastiche that first appeared in the Autumn 2010 issue of Dark Valentine. “Hunter’s Heart” is shorter than most of my short stories (I tend to be long-winded even when I’m writing short fiction, apparently), but I think it shows a side of the familiar fairytale that you might not have seen before. Download it here at...
