My Halloween Gift To You

It’s Halloween, so it seemed as good a time as any to release my second e-book. Checkmate & Other Stories collects together the fifteen stories I had published online between July 2008 and June 2010. They cover a range of styles and genres, from fantasy to horror, but mostly sit in the speculative fiction camp.

Some of them are no longer available online as the sites that published them have either been taken down, or the site archives don’t stretch far back enough, but I thought I’d collect them together to save people trawling through my publishing credits to read my published work. The front cover is my own graphic design work.

Checkmate & Other Stories is available for FREE from Smashwords, in all the various different formats that you’d expect. Don’t forget that The First Tale is also still available, for the princely sum of 99c. Of course, if you really enjoy either work and want to donate something to show your appreciation, you can do so by clicking the button in the sidebar! All proceeds go towards funding my PhD.

Enjoy, and have a wonderful Halloween!
