*PAPERBACK NOT HARDCOVER*

I recently discovered Inkshares and will try to publish with this platform as I currently do not have the funds to self publish at this time.

I’ve always been afraid of what others would say. I know by releasing these thirteen stories I will take the next step needed to become a better writer. What I need most is feedback. Suffering from dyslexia I have trouble structuring stories properly, and choosing the correct subtext or word choice.

I hope to release a full novel set in Red Bear, TX that is a sequel of ’Tales from Mist Lake’ This would be a full novel suffering the effects of these short stories. "Vast Land"

While I originally entered the contest for Crypt TV. Now it has been entered in the new Inkshares 2017 Horror Contest I continue to push forward and I’m determined to publish these short stories.
