Free Reads

I understand -- there are a lot of writers out there, and a lot of books, and even if you had time to read them all, there's no way you'd be able to afford them all. So why should you spend your hard-earned cash on my books? Linked here are some things I've written for you to read, completely free, so you can give me a try, risk-free! (Listed newest-first.)
