Free SF, Fantasy and Horror Fiction for 12/28/2013
Catching up after two weeks… I didn’t expect to be gone for so long. What was I doing? Why, getting a book published, of course! For those of you who don’t know, yesterday was the official release day for Persephone, Goddess of the Not So Undead, a very different take on zombies.
More to come tomorrow, especially eBooks.
