My short stories are available in eBook and paperback format. The eBooks contain at least twelve stories, and the special editions of four paperbacks contain twenty stories each.
The reason for the difference in quantity is simply that the pricing of a paperback is such that, in my opinion, twenty stories in a variety of genres and themes offers better value for money.
My eBook short tales will usually be in one of three categories:
– Genre-based: stories will all be military, romance, sci-fi, crime, etc., and the clue will be in the title.
– Theme-based: Various genres, but the stories will be centred around a single theme, like a lost item, treasure, second chances, animals, etc.,
Invitation: in these cases, we could be looking at either of the above. The invitation anthologies are books in which I’ve asked for submissions from fellow indie authors, so they might be genre-based or theme-based.
As I continue, I may add ‘bonus’ stories from other collections to entice readers to investigate my catalogue. This would always be the case when the collection is only my work.
