Peeps, sorry - the first "Solar Wind" book is not entirely free any longer. It is still deeply discounted at only $1 on Smashwords though. That won't break the bank.

Here's the link:

https://www.smashwords.com/books/view...

Grab yours while this lasts. The sequels come in at $4.95 - those are big books, folks. Immersive, escapist. If you liked the first, you'll love the others.

Or feel free to help yourself to a shortstory from here:

https://www.smashwords.com/books/byse...

Enjoy!!

(Footnote: I have not yet started writing again. Once my life has stabilized, once I have kept a number of commitments, then... I'll write again. Maybe 2 more years.) ...more

The Robin And The Wish - Review

The Robin and The Wish by Shaun Harbour

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A captivating fairytale about, essentially, the soul of a child.

Anyone who has ever had a friend like Robin, or anyone who can associate with or knows a Small Girl, will be deeply moved by this story. I know I cried.
