Ice Cold and Other Stories



Edit: This was my first self-published ebook.  Since doing so, I've made this about twenty times longer, with dozens of stories in it, and it's available for free (a downloadable pdf) from http://self.gutenberg.org/, in an expanded edition, here.

It's not so much that I want you to buy this, as much as:
1) I want to show off the cool cover art the great Garrett W. Vance did for me, and
2) If you
are on the lookout for a new author, and you like what I write here, then here's an inexpensive chance to see what my best efforts are like.

Why does the hunter have a crossbow instead of a gun?  Why do he and his people hate those on the other side of an interdimensional Gate?  Why do they feel they "got a pig in a poke"?  He's not hot with rage though; he's Ice Cold.


Hurt...damaged...trudging through snow, a banished soldier makes a surprising discovery.  Maybe there's hope.  Maybe there's no need to just fade away and die.  Maybe there's return from Exile.

A bustling multidimensional civilization; expansion based on Explorers, Experts, and Enforcers.  A man who is one of the foremost Experts takes his uncanny talents to a nexus of tremendous possibility.  But things go badly wrong at Majoros-Taff Vale.  Will he overcome the reasons the nexus and its development site are called Emptyville?

  1. This is awesome!! I might just be a convert to Sci-Fi yet. Let me figure out how to read as I am indeed Kindle-less...

    1. Kristin, glad you liked it, and thank you so much for the kind words.

      Can you tell me if you tried to rate it on Amazon? I've heard from a couple of others they've had trouble doing so.
