The rights to my urban fantasy short story “Blood, Magic, and a Concubine” reverted to me a few weeks ago – the magazine that held the rights closed and all rights reverted to authors and artists. I was sorry to see the magazine go, but I figured I might as well make the best of the situation. So, I uploaded the story to Amazon as a Kindle title. It’s just 99 cents, and it includes an excerpt from my novella Meat City in Meat City & Other Stories, which is available for purchase through Amazon, Black Bed Sheet Books, and other stores.

I thought I would add an excerpt from “Blood, Magic, and a Concubine” here so you can see if it is something that you might like to read. Other tales from Underbelly are coming as well, including “Nine-Tenths”, which will be a free story on this site, and a novella called Light of the Silvery Moon, which features Johnny Stone and a pack of irate werewolves who are trying to figure out who killed a prominent member of the Blackpool Pack.

Enough of my rambling, click for the excerpt.
