Believe it or not, I was called a "masterful Canadian storyteller". The book of short stories (along with a couple of books of poems) that earned that distinction is called "Clearings" and it can be downloaded free of charge at:

Clearings is available in PDF and MS Reader formats. The others are in a variety of formats, including HieBook. There's also a link to Memoware for for PDA-ready DOC and Plucker formats for Clearings, Still Life and Gawdawful Poems. (Memoware also has an extra story called The Big Red Gift at:

This is a page on my author web site, and it's devoted to free books only.
