Sample: Gears of Wonderland, Chapter 1
This is the first chapter from Gears of Wonderland. It's the only chapter that's set in "our" world, and introduces the main character (along with his not-so-nice fiancee and boss). For what felt like the hundredth time, James glanced at the clock on the far wall of the office. The grinning Cheshire Cat plushy sitting [...]

Fortunately, Matt over on Guerrilla [...]

Smashwords Editions Now Available
I've been very slack about putting my books up on Smashwords – mainly because I hate, loath and detest having to submit a Word file to generate ebooks (I always upload a HTML version to Amazon, so I have more control over the final version). But since I want Gears of Wonderland to be distributed [...]
