Links for Family and Friends

Paywalls! They’re pesky, they’re how publishers pay their bills … And they’re what prevents my dear old Grammie from reading my stories on her iPad. This private page includes readable links/PDF scans of all my writing for family and friends.

Please remember to support my many wonderful publishers!
