Dreamsnake, Superluminal, and The Moon and the Sun are available in serial formse (for free), one chapter per week, or as ebooks. Please visit my Book View Cafe bookshelf for more information.

You’re welcome to download the free work to your own system, to print a copy for yourself, or to read the work on whatever electronic device you prefer. Please don’t copy the stories to another website. You are welcome to link to the stories, but please link via this page or my Book View Café bookshelf so visitors can see the most recent additions.

If you enjoy the stories and would like to read more, you can buy signed hardcovers at Basement Full of Books, or you could make use of my experimental Writer Appreciation Donation Button:

If the experiment is successful, I’ll post more stories.
