Short Fiction

A novella published in 3 parts

In 2017, Arc Manor published a serialized version of my paranormal romance novella, Galatea, in 3 parts.

The bookseller links provided here are for the edition (Feb 2017) of the magazine in which part 1 of the novella appeared; parts 2 and 3 were released in the next two issues (April & June). In addition to the usual booksellers, you can also buy Mobi or ePub formatted ebooks of the magazine directly from the publisher. See the links at Heart’s Kiss.
