Individual short stories start out free.After around 1000 downloads I’ll usually make them 99-cents because nobody gets rich by giving away everything for free.
They will eventually appear in anthologies but I’ll base that on the 1970’s music industry – no more than two singles per album and the rest made up on new stuff. The big difference will be that anthologies will be available in print as well as electronic. I tried putting some shorts in print but the cost was far too much.
This page will need frequent updating. I’ll keep the free ones at the top.
