I have to admit that Mage: The Ascension was my favorite of all the World of Darkness roleplaying games. There’s something about the setting that totally grabbed me. This month, my free short story is called Service and it pays homage to the magic-behind-the-scenes feeling that permeates the Mage RPG.

Free Fiction – The Broken Temple of Yinak
My first Kaus Kagunvar story is now up! After editing, it actually came down in word count a bit, so I just missed the technical definition of novella by about a thousand words. But, at just more than 16,000 words, it’s pretty darn close. And more important than the word count is that I’m veryContinueContinue reading “Free Fiction – The Broken Temple of Yinak”
Free Story – Springtime
I tried to write a positive, uplifting story. I really tried. But there’s been something about March this year that has my thoughts taking a dark turn. This month’s free story is called Springtime. It’s not what you might expect from the title, though it is the story that was in my head and neededContinueContinue reading “Free Story – Springtime”
Free Story – Inheritance
This month’s story has a great deal of personal meaning to me. March 12th will be six years since my father passed away. At the time, he was experiencing severe dementia and was forced to live in a facility where he could be properly cared for. I wrote this story quite some time ago butContinueContinue reading “Free Story – Inheritance”
Free Story – Forgotten
As I mentioned last week, this month’s story takes place in the Undying Empire, in Ythis itself. Undead are fun to write about, and so I decided to use a character who was mentioned in passing in chapter 13 of The Tower of Dust. Just another way to tie it all together and make YthisContinueContinue reading “Free Story – Forgotten”
Free Story – Unhidden
I hope everyone had a great weekend, and your celebrations brought everything you wished for. This month’s story is one of my shortest so far. It’s called Unhidden, and I have a feeling that this is one character I will revisit at some point in the future. I hope everyone has a happy New Year’sContinueContinue reading “Free Story – Unhidden”
Free Story – Snowfall
This month, I return to the world of the Undying Empire with a new story, Snowfall. If you’ve read The Witch’s Path, you probably don’t have a very good opinion of the Witch Hunters. This month’s story is told from the viewpoint of those who see themselves as the protectors of the citizens of theContinueContinue reading “Free Story – Snowfall”
Free Story – Reflection
Hallowe’en is almost here. So this month I decided to write an actual horror story. Some people considered August’s story, Pages, to be horror, and it certainly has some creepy elements, but Reflection is straight horror. As always, I enjoyed writing this one. It didn’t come out exactly as I had originally envisioned it, butContinueContinue reading “Free Story – Reflection”
Free Story – Exigent
I love the concept of imaginary time in quantum mechanics, so it was inevitable that I would use it in a story at some point. The free story for September is called Exigent. It’s actually the shortest story I’ve written so far (less than 4,000 words), and is the first science-fiction story I’ve posted on this site. Click hereContinueContinue reading “Free Story – Exigent”
Free Story – Pages
As promised, here is my free short story, Pages, for August 2016. I didn’t go into this one thinking about Lovecraft, but it dragged me inexorably toward the final result. I hope you enjoy. Of course, I have to mention my next novel, The Soldier and the Slave. This is the first book in whatContinueContinue reading “Free Story – Pages”
