My word gallery contains only excerpts from some of my short stories. If you like what you see, you can download the full stories in PDF form at my website.

There are a few reasons I do it this way. First, I find PDF's much more readable, and I think you will, too. I love HV, but reading longer format stories on the site difficult. Second, I think every story is important and unique. Placing each story in a single, well-designed PDF is just my way of giving every story its due. Then again, maybe I'm just smoking crack.

Anyway, if you do go download a story at my website, don't forget to come back and let me know what you think. Carry on.
