Life isn't always pretty. The Light In The Dark is a collection of short stories that focus on the shadows of life. There will be a new story added every Wednesday until 10 stories have accumulated. Most are metaphorical in some sense of the word. It is obvious that these stories need further editing which will happen after the 10 are complete.

OCR is Not the Only Font
Silly, surreal and sometimes serious, these thirty-one very short stories cover a vast range of subjects and themes. Written entirely during July 2012, these flash fiction pieces are accompanied by a deeply unscientific analysis of the challenge that spawned them: to write thirty-one stories in thirty-one days. From lovesick androids to disgruntled minotaurs, the stories in this book embrace Classical mythology, futuristic sci-fi, and a variety of other genres that would much rather have stayed out of the way. Within these electronic pages, you will find disgraced superheroes, unionised zombies, steam-powered clowns and incompetent astronauts. Includes a non-fiction section analysing the results of this month-long experiment.Complete

Random Stories
This is basically a collection of random pieces that I have written. Some are dark and all of them are one shots/completed. This book will most likely not be updated on a regular schedule. Feel free to read them, I won't be putting specific warnings on each story but will mention if it is darkish or not.
Nothing to See Here
These are short stories, flash and microfictions, most less than 500 words, the longest about 1500 words. Short, funny, and sometimes fun. Sometimes pointed and sometimes pointless. These stories have been described as eclectic, quirky, and sometimes sad. Take a handful to go.Complete
