Year of Stories Week 6
Welcome to week 6 of the Year of Stories!
Free this week is Darla, Dragon Hunter. It's a 5,700-word sci-fi action story, now available to read for free or buy in the Store. Here's the synopsis:
My "friends" think I'm a paralegal. I amuse myself sometimes by wondering what they would say if they found out that a couple of times a month I exchange my pantsuit for camo gear and a high-tech sniper rifle and hunt dragons. They'd probably think I was joking. Fine by me.
The highlighted Store release for this week is Escape Velocity, a 1,700-word sci-fi drama. Read it now for only $0.99! Here's a teaser:
I thought stasis would be like sleeping. I thought I’d simply close my eyes on Earth and when I opened them I'd be a hundred light-years away, with no memory of the intervening time or the immense distance I had travelled. I thought stasis would be an escape, but I've spent the absent infinity of our voyage through space exploring the inside of my own head, reliving every one of those moments, those days, those joys, those sorrows.

Year of Stories Week 5
Welcome to week 5 of the Year of Stories!
Free this week is Memoirs of the Model Agent: How I Rescued Mr. Dimbles. This 2,100-word science fiction action comedy is now available to read for free or to buy in the Store. Here's the synopsis:
You probably know me from the ad campaigns. I've been the face of the Chancellorate's Security Forces for two or three years, now. "The Model Agent," they call me. I've decided to share a few of the stories that haven't been told about me before. I'm not calling anyone a liar; I'm not here to "set the records straight." I just want to be represented on my own terms. I want to balance the scales a little, so you can see the bad with the good. Why don't I start near the beginning?

Pre-Canada Day Fireworks
I forgot to take a picture or video, but last night there was a fireworks show at the end of the Victoria Seals baseball game, so a few friends and I went there at the end of the game so we could get in without a ticket. The fireworks were simple, but there were a lot of them. It was a pretty good show, overall.
As a bonus, it was a promo night for Subway, and they were handing out coupons for free subs on the way out. I managed to score two coupons, so hooray for free food!
I'll get some pictures of the big-time fireworks tonight, hopefully. If it stops raining.
Galloway’s Hunt
Galloway's Hunt is a novelette set in the world of Galloway's Voyage, my work-in-progress novel based on the same title character. Buy it now for only $0.99!
