In 2018, my novel, Kingdom Come, was published, and it is now available for sale (see links below). To celebrate the launch year, I will publish new content every month of the year — a short story or other media pertaining to the novel — on this site every second weekend. You are welcome to read these stories. If you like what you see or read, please purchase the book and tell others about the site. The novel is the culmination of the stories you’ll find here.
[Update December 2018: Promise kept. There are twelve links below corresponding to each month.]
To purchase: Kingdom Come – Hardcover Kingdom Come – Softcover Kingdom Come – eBook
The stories so far are The Witch, The Flower, and The Golden Goose , The Things We Keep , Do not Save the Princess , The Dwarf’s Report (Part 1), The Dwarf’s Report (Part 2), Oh Well , Neither Fish nor Fowl , Aeron’s Choice , Rose and Coal and Gooseberries. Read the Kingdom Come timeline too.

So welcome to Kingdom and enjoy its famous and little-known characters, its fantastic locales, and its bumbling and absurdly-named heroes and heroines.
