Whatever your beliefs, religions or lack thereof, it is traditional in many places to give gifts at this time of year. I'd like to share in the general gift giving bonhomie this year by giving you ALL - yes, you, you AND you - the opportunity to download one of my short stories, in the format of your choice, absolutely free. That's no pence. Gratis.
 | Storm Watch first appeared in 'Tales from the Asylum: A Steampunk Compilation', published by The Last Line in 2010. 'Tales from the Asylum' is the first volume of 'The Asylum Chronicles'. The Asylum - it was built like a fortress; yet no-one questioned why. It had hundreds of uniformed wardens; almost no-one noticed. It held strange and dangerous inmates; no-one knew. Built in the 1870s, yet seeming to endure forever, the Asylum has seen governments rise and fall, has witnessed wars and riots. It has stories to tell, strange twisting stories of past and future |
Tales from the Asylum follows in the footsteps of the Asylum warden, Arkwright, as he makes his rounds. In the final cell, a cell strangely dripping with brine, is James Fairweather - another of the unfortunate inmates who can never be released.
Storm Watch is James' story.

There are several ways you can go about this:
At Southcart, I'll be doing a reading from The Home Front, and also, I MAY have written a short, wintery story to read, especially for this event (called The Wolves of Winter). There'll be lots of other writers reading too, and lovely Scott and Amy, Southcart's proprieters, will also provide free nibbles. It's free entry too, and a fantastic opportunity to get some rare and unusual Xmas presents, so we hope to see you there...
