Free Audiobook: Criminal Words

What you really need is for that audiobook to be free.
Wish granted: CRIMINAL WORDS.

All Alone – Free Short Story
If you think politics is dirty today, you should read about 1951 Philadelphia.
And my short story ALL ALONE just happens to be set in… 1951 Philadelphia. Get your free copy of ALL ALONE right here. (I’ll talk a bit about that amazing cover art later.)
