I open the guest room door
as violent winds pummel the inn.
Lightning illuminates the blood
dripping onto the floor.
I shiver in fear.
Who else is here?
Are the Penobscot Indians friends or foes?
If enemies, Elizabeth doesn't want it to be so.
But would she rather have enemies within her friends?
I don't believe so.

For your reading pleasure, all six of my novel-length works of speculative fiction are currently available to read for free via Amazon's Kindle Unlimited service.
The storm ravages the inn,
As my heart drums a frantic beat.
In this place as dark as sin,
I hear the sound of pounding feet.
A shriek.
A thud.
The lights flicker to darkness.

From Chapter 3: Worm to the Apple
Tanya knelt there trembling while I looked on. My face grew increasingly red as I realized the situation. I was center stage in a melodramatic scene, one that would be the talk of the university for days, if not months. If there had been rumors about me before, there were sure to be more now. Didn’t Yokohama know how embarrassing this situation was?
So why did I feel a smile tug at the corners of my mouth? It flattered me that someone thought I was important enough to intervene on my behalf, but it was more than that. The shy glances students stole of me were vaguely exciting. For a moment, people were noticing me.
Today's indie author review! You Can Do Magic by R.L. Merrill:
"A very intense and emotional read... it's a good book, a love story between two guys brought together by the fates and other interferences, and some smiles and quite a few chortles."
The #Kindle edition of "Shards" is now available for #free on Amazon's various international storefronts. This will be the case until October 4th, so get while the getting's good.
We're just a day away from the start of my latest book giveaway, so I wanted to share the following image, which shows how the stories in "Shards" relate to the other works from "The Nod/Wells Timelines." Hopefully, this will give everyone some useful context, and some ideas about which other books of mine to explore if they enjoy their time with "Shards."
Note that you can always find the most up-to-date version of "The Nod/Wells Timelines" via my official web site:
