When one spends a small eternity collecting the souls of the dying, one tends to forget what it means to live. But even Death has a heart. All he needs to do is remember it.



I published this short story on Kindle back in 2011. I pulled it later due to lack of sales, but have since cleaned it up, did a bit of rewriting, made a new cover, and republished. It's still only available on Kindle as it's only 14 pages long, but I also have it enrolled in Kindle Unlimited.

I also made the decision to re-enroll Shadow King into Kindle Unlimited. It had been pirated not long after its release, so I was worried Amazon would penalize me for "breaking" the exclusivity clause and had removed it. But I've been reassured by other authors that I will probably be okay to have it in KU, so I re-enrolled it this month. So, if anyone would like to check either of these stories out, Amazon is where to find them.

More tweaking to the cover of my published novel. Final version I'm finally happy with. Available on Amazon in hardcover, paperback, and Kindle.

For those who read and enjoyed Shadow King, I’ve listed the first book on Amazon! The Kindle version goes live January 2nd. Paperback and hardcover versions to follow in another two weeks after that.

I'm terribly sorry to all of the readers who have so greatly enjoyed Shadow King, but I'm afraid I must remove it from the site. I greatly desire to have it professionally published, either through a traditional publisher, or self-published, so I've spent the past month revising the first book and now I am ready to start querying agents in hopes of finding one willing to represent me for actual publishing.
In doing this, I must remove the story as it can't be "published" anywhere which might be detrimental to my chances of publishing. Your feedback and comments have been encouraging and helpful and I appreciate them greatly. I hope you can all understand.
