A demon hunter runs into trouble on the high seas when she starts to doubt her sanity.
After a long hiatus from writing fantasy (although Getting Into Mishief below was posted back in April, it was written long before then), this is a return to my roots. You might note that this story is much longer than any other short I've written and that the average length of my fantasy stories is higher than that of the other genres. I think this means that I don't know how to write short fantasy. (-:

Getting Into Mischief
Download in Reader Format
An action/adventure story set in the same world as Circle Of Power.
I don't write much fantasy. It's not that I have anything against the genre. It's just that it works better for me as a novel than a short (two and a half of my novels are fantasy).

Guilty As Magic
Download in Reader Format
A detective story (a classic locked door murder) set in a fantasy setting.
This was my second attempt at doing an SF/F fantasy story. Unfortunately, it didn't come off as well as I might have liked. I'm still working on how to do speculative fiction mysteries.
6250 words. Posted 4 Oct 1998.
Circle Of Power
Download in Reader Format
The story of how a mage became, almost by accident, the most powerful wizard on the planet.
This takes place in the same universe as my first three novels, and is actually the early story of the young ghost from the title page.
