Stories for strange times

For several years, I've been writing weekly flash fiction: ultra-brief tales of 1,000 words or more, usually in genres including science fiction, horror, and the supernatural. Those stories collectively are called Once Upon A Time.

I've published several ebook-only anthologies plus paperback and ebook compendiums of those stories — which you can find out about below — and you can also subscribe to receive a weekly story via email, for free!

On Monday mornings, you'll get an email in your inbox with a brief tale you can read in ten minutes or so. I'd love to have you as a subscriber. You can subscribe to the free weekly short story via email here, or use the form below. Unsubscribe any time, from the link in every issue.

I look forward to sending your first story to you. In the meantime, if you'd like to find out about the many stories I've already published, take a look below. You can also find out about my longer works of fiction on my books page. If you'd like to read a sample of recent stories individually, you can find them here.
