Free Stories, Snippets and Outtakes

Craving a little light reading with your coffee? You're in the right place. I love writing shorts and ficlets to work out characters or plot points, so here we have a collection of stories, snippets and outtakes featuring:

  • Jack and Gareth, Nico and Daniel, Aidan, Alex, Raf, Skylar and the rest of the crew from the Power of Zero series
  • Tempest, Max Young and their snarky best friend Min from FanBait
  • The FireWorks Security boys: Joel Weston, Kieran Ross, Marius Leven and Gabriel Coelho
  • Minel and Falcon from Healing Glass
  • Macalla, Bran, Aslan and various other characters from the Dornost Saga
  • Hitoshi and Kazuhiro from Warring States
  • Raven, Cynthia, Damon and Leigh from the Adepts series
  • and, of course, my latest obsession, who doesn't even have a name yet...
