OK, I figured it's time I offered y'all a free story. It's “Somewhere, My
Love,” which, as near as I can judge, is one of my best-regarded tales. It's
been reprinted a handful of times, most recently in
Fugue Devil: Resurgence
(Black Raven Books, 2022). If you haven't read the story before, give it a
look. Hey, it's free! You can get it as an EPUB or PDF file by

“Somewhere, My Love” originally appeared in Barnes & Noble´s 100 Wicked Witch Stories (1995), and has been reprinted a few times since. Back at the office where I used to work, we always had enjoyable Halloween celebrations, and I usually read one of my stories to the crew there. This one convinced a few of them that the author might actually possess at least a reasonable facsimile, even if it was defective, of an almost-human heart. The story is kind of an autobiographical account of events that never happened, but the characters and emotions portrayed in narrative are very much based in reality.
Hope you enjoy the tale!
