Free Story
Coming to an End
After seven years I’ve decided to stop posting the monthly free short story. That doesn’t mean I’ll stop writing short stories ( I enjoy them too much!) and if you’re on my newsletter list you may get a treat every once in a while, but for now I want to focus on other projects. Thanks for your support all these years.

A choice that would either haunt her or liberate her for the rest of her life. A short story about facing the future and the decisions one makes.
