I now have two free short stories available on Instafreebie and you are all invited to go and get them!

The stories can be accessed at the following URL’s:

For “Adam:” https://instafreebie.com/free/82iIP

For “Something in the Blood:” https://instafreebie.com/free/05lvv

“Adam” was first published in the Strange Pleasures 3 anthology, in 2005 and is currently unavailable elsewhere.

Fischer is a careful, dedicated scientist but when he uses a tailored retrovirus to transfer the Fox P2 gene, sometimes called the “language gene” into a cage full of rats and a mouse named Adam, he is not prepared to deal with the unexpected, world changing consequences.

“Something in the Blood” is a prequel to the Kurtz and Barent mystery series.

With less than a year to go before graduation, surgery resident Richard Kurtz decides to spend his summer on an elective rotation at a small hospital in Arkansas. The hospital and town seem peaceful enough but when teenaged Ben Saunders comes into the ER with a broken wrist, Kurtz becomes involved in a family tragedy that spans two generations.

Starting Saturday, August 5, and running through Sunday, August 6, my latest novel, The Cannibal’s Feast, will be offered free from Amazon for Kindle purchase. The Cannibal’s Feast is the story of Matthew Braden, a young man from a run-down habitat in Earth orbit, who graduates at the top of his class from the corporate training institute of the Biotek-Itachi Gesselschaft, one of the largest and most powerful of the corporate states in the 25th Century. Matthew, eager to prove himself and to rise through the ranks, becomes a prime weapon in Biotek’s long simmering war with the Hyperion-Narita Combine, as they strive to determine the future of all humanity.
