Editor's Note:
Free ebook download (zip & mobi prc). Short story collection.I have a sampler of stories that I put together when I was eligible for the Campbell award. The challenge of being a short story writer is that much of my other short fiction was hard to find because it was no longer on the newstands when the nominations were announced. I pulled five stories out of my sales that reflected a range of the kinds of fiction I write.You can download the .zip directory of stories or the mobipocket version, kindly converted by Arachne Jericho.This collection includes:For Solo Cello, op. 12 — Originally published in Cosmos (SF)Bound Man — Originally published in Twenty Epics (Epic Fantasy)Death Comes But Twice — Originally published in Talebones (Epistlary 18th Century SF)This Little Pig — originally published in Cicada (SF)Cerbo en Vitra ujo — originally published in Apex Digest (Horror SF.
