Short Stories

On this page you will find information about all my short stories, which are now also available for the first time in two convenient collections, both e-books. The first, For the Love of Old Bones, came out as an ebook on Kindle in summer 2012, and I was delighted and surprised by the sales. In fact I was so delighted, I immediately began work on a second collection, this time of all my other stories. No One Can Hear You Scream came out in the autumn, and was again well received by those who use modern technology for their reading.

If you enjoy my short stories, you might also like the longer stories I contributed to the collaborative novels by the Medieval Murderers.
