Chupacabra’s Song
My thanks to everyone who commented on my post about self-publishing some shorter pieces in the universes of my various series. I’ve gone ahead and posted “Chupacabra’s Song” as a standalone short story for $.99. It’s about 5000 words, and tells the story of Nicola Pallas as a teenager just starting to discover her magic.
In the U.S., you should be able to pick up a copy at Amazon | B&N | iBooks | Kobo | Smashwords | Google Play.
It should also be available in other countries for the equivalent price, though there may be VAT and other tax/fee issues.
Not everyone said they’d be interested in a $.99 short story, and that’s fine. I may eventually do more short collections like I did with Goblin Tales. For now though, I think I’m going to try some novella/novelette length works. In between books and other contracted work, of course…

It’s fantastic! I was sucked in and disappointed when it ended. I’d love to see more from her perspective.

I’ve self-pubbed some other stuff over the past few years. Nothing huge, but it brings in a few bucks a month. I’m hoping I’ll be able to do more now, though.

Purchased! I’ll probably use it as a palate cleanser after I finish the two books I’m currently reading before starting something new.

Enjoyed it. I like being able to buy short fiction individually.
Happy New Year.
