This is a page dedicated to free serial fiction that I’ll be writing and releasing exclusively on this site (as opposed to the short stories available on the Dark Shorts page). Once each series is complete I’ll then make free ebooks available through Smashwords.com as well as leaving them posted here. Currently there’s one complete serial, but I intend to write more as time allows.

GHOST OF THE BLACK: A ‘VERSE FULL OF SCUM

(This was originally titled simply A ‘Verse Full Of Scum but I’ve decided to write more stories featuring the protagonist, Ghost. Therefore these stories will all be Ghost Of The Black serials, with this first one being A ‘Verse Full Of Scum).

Ghost is possibly the best bounty hunter in the universe and he always gets the job done. At least, that’s the reputation that he rides on. When the DAP employ him to track down and capture a rogue Magicker that’s running across the galaxy killing anyone that gets in his way, Ghost realises that this is a job that could cost him his reputation. It’s also a job that could cost him his sanity.

The novella is written in thirty four short chapters. One new chapter will be posted every Monday (and I’ll put a reminder in the blog so you don’t miss one.)

This novella is now finished and all the chapters are posted, so now you can read the whole thing for free, without those annoying weekly cliffhangers. Don’t forget to tell all your friends about it – it’ll stay here indefinitely. And be sure to let me know what you think.

What and Why – This page explained.

The content of this site has so far been stuff that has been previously published (see the Dark Shorts page) or stuff you have to pay for, such as my novels, RealmShift and MageSign.

I wanted to give all you good people something for free. I’m just a big hearted guy, I suppose. I’d been working on a short novella for a while and wasn’t really sure what to do with it. Would I self publish it, try to get it traditionally published, try to get it serialised somewhere? I couldn’t decide. Then I thought to myself, Why not give it away through my website? So that’s what I’m going to do. New material, previously unpublished, available to you for nothing. There will be more serial novella coming as time allows.
