Mesopotamian lyres, Levantine ship crews, Cypriot city-states, Hittite libations, Egyptian perfumes...
Historical short stories set in the ancient Near East. Potentially bilingual, probably full of archaeological inside jokes, hopefully an interesting retrospective adventure into the distant past -- my favourite place.

My second collection of short stories, but longer than the works in my Read my Shorts collection. This volume consists of anything more than 1000 words and includes new works, re-writes of a few older pieces and anything else I found on my computer that I'd forgotten to post before. It will contain steampunk, historical fiction, urban fantasy, science fiction, fantasy, slipstream, sci-fantasy, horror, paranormal, general oddity and anything else that happens to fall out of my ears as ideas formulate into stories. Enjoy. Comments and constructive feedback always welcomed.Complete
