At the beginning of 2021, I began a challenge to publish six short story collections. The first three are available in eBook and Paperback from all retailers, or follow the direct link and use code Summer21 for 25% off the eBook versions.

Tales From the Puzzle Store (Books2Read) (Direct)

In the spirit of classic science fiction, Tales from the Puzzle Store takes you to places and times both strange and unexpected.

Mac’s career concentrated on absolutes. What he could see, feel and touch. Without his help, Mac’s store rescues those who need help, leaving him to explain the unexplainable.

When life upends you, and even when it doesn’t, take a trip to the Puzzle Store. Browse the shelves, and see if a puzzle picks you, just as it does in the five original stories first published in this collection.

Tales From the Puzzle Store ensures you’ll never look at jigsaw puzzles the same way again.

A Frailty of Heroes (Books2Read) or (Direct)

When the world turns you inside out and upside down, you need someone special.
You need heroes. You need heroines.

Normal men. Normal women. Not normal situations. Situations that give you three choices. You can run, you can call for help, or you can go forward.

Going forward is the choice every hero takes in the five original stories first published in this collection.

A Frailty of Heroes gives you the options. When that choice falls to you, what will it be?

Call Me Rhys (Books2Read) or (Direct)

Science fiction has always danced with mystery. After all, anything beyond the moon is unknown. The unknown extends to newly colonized planets, and the nature of humans, and aliens, to commit crimes. Crimes the authorities have no interest in solving.

Then you call Rhys.

Rhys only works for money. Unless a friend is in need.

Rhys always stays inside the law. His law. Other laws, he brushes the lines the way an artist blends color.

See how close those lines get in the five original stories first published in this collection.

Need help? Call Rhys. Have your wallet ready.

Beginnings in Babylon

A collection of Jacob and Miriam stories. Beginnings in Babylon is available from all retailers.
