“The Most Powerful Man in the World and
other stories” is a collection of five of my short, scifi stories to provide a
sample of my writing. It will be free to
download on Kindle from now through Monday, April 27, so grab your free copynow.
Here are short blurbs for the stories
included. A being from the distant
future with almost unlimited powers comes back to help Ian Steele make the
world a better place in “The Most Powerful Man in the World.” The bookstore
customer has an entirely different reason for wanting books in “Black Market
Books.” “Motherhood” tells the story of Thomas Gillespie, the surrogate mother
for an AI. “Storyteller” is about an author thinking his book into existence.
And “Deadworld” is about the alien world humans are reborn on – in alien bodies
– after they die.
For a taste, here is an excerpt from “The
Most Powerful Man in the World”

“What happened?” Ian asked from the floor.
“You fainted.”
Ian sat up and looked around the empty
room. It was maybe fifteen feet on a side and painted a dull grey. “Where am
I?”
“A dimensional intrusion located within
your living room wall.”
“Huh?”
Pulling him to his feet, she explained,
“Basically, it’s a space that can be as large,” here Karen threw her arms out
and the walls zoomed away beyond sight, “or as small as I want.” She then drew
her arms in and the two stood in a space the size of a phone booth. The room
returned to its original size and Karen stretched. “But I think this is a good
size.”
Ian spun around, trying to keep an eye on
each of the walls as if they might sneak up and squish him. “What the hell is
this?”
