To celebrate my ninth year of giving away free, original fiction to readers online, I've put together and
posted on Scribd a reissue edition of my very first free e-book,
Sink or Swim, a collection of a year's worth of short stories I published on my old web site way back in 2000.
As with all my Scribd e-books, this is free for anyone to read online, download, print out and/or distribute for non-profit/educational purposes. *Note 9/3/10: Since Scribd.com instituted an access fee scam to charge people for downloading e-books, including those I have provided for free for the last ten years, I have removed my free library from their site, and no longer use or recommend using their service. This reissue and all of my free reads may be read online or downloaded for free from Google Docs;
go to my freebies and free reads page for the links.
See my post about this scam here.
I've added a new introduction as well as some retrospective bits on each of the stories in the e-book, as many of the stories went on to inspire new novels and series ideas. Thanks to the very talented and possibly psychic
Deena Fisher, I also have lovely new cover art.
It was fun to look back at what I was writing at the turn of the century, and to realize just how much I've accomplished since those first terrifying months of being a pro writer. Now to plan more radical ideas to try out for the next nine years . . .
