Moonlight
I recently published Moonlight through Smashwords.com. This is a little ebook, only 43 pages, a fantasy romance set in modern Japan. I have released it for free for an indefinite period - but get it now, because it won't be free forever! Amazon, for reasons of their own, are charging good money for it already, although I have told them it is available for free elsewhere (eg. Barnes and Noble, Smashwords). Here is a direct link to the free book on Smashwords, where you can download it in different formats. If you prefer, get it as a Nook Book from Barnes and Noble.

Heads up!
Coming soon: Living on the Knife's Edge.
This is a grown up short story or short novella which I've reworked from what was going to be a graphic novel about the uncertain business of living.
Genre is contemporary drama / romance. I'm tempted to call it chick-lit, but I'm afraid the girls might accuse me of invading their space. Er, ladies? Women writers? Heeellp!
I never was much good at this politically correct business.

Teacher's Pet
Just out on Smashwords, this is a scary YA romance. As I say in the blurb, a rather evil short story. It's free, and I plan to keep it that way (since it really is just a short story, a little less than 3 000 words). Go get it now!

Moonlight II
For those of you who've read Moonlight, feedback from my readers (and editorial input on my contributions to Pocket-sized Yarns) has convinced me to revise, edit, and rework Moonlight significantly. A second edition will be released shortly, which will be about 1 000 words longer than the original. Look out for it!

Teacher's Pet (2)
Have you read Teacher's Pet and been disappointed by the abrupt ending? Let me confess, that was me being rather too clever, to the point that I wound up being stupid!
Good news: I have revised the story, including what happens after that moment of crisis, so that you can now find out what happens to Becky (and Sam). There is a proper ending!
Because I believe that a number of readers were disappointed with this book, I have *not* changed the edition or ISBN, but I have updated the cover.
It's still a free download on Smashwords, but Amazon may take a while to make it free again.

Nights Bright Days
Notes from an occasional writer, chiefly in the realm of dream and fantasy, whence this title. And no, there is no apostrophe!
Shakespeare's Sonnet 43:
When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see,
For a Notes from an occasional writer, chiefly in the realm of dream and fantasy, whence this title. And no, there is no apostrophe!
Shakespeare's Sonnet 43:
When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see,
For all the day they view things unrespected;
But when I sleep, in dreams they look on thee,
And darkly bright are bright in dark directed.
Then thou, whose shadow shadows doth make bright,
How would thy shadow's form form happy show
To the clear day with thy much clearer light,
When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines so!
How would, I say, mine eyes be blessed made
By looking on thee in the living day,
When in dead night thy fair imperfect shade
Through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stay!
All days are nights to see till I see thee,
And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me. ...more
