Free Keys

Gentle Readers, 

I am pleased to announce a Tapas Give-Away to commemorate something which even I, in all my long life, never expected. It has been one year since the release of my first book and  this humble experiment of ours has thrived! Tapas and I wish to celebrate, so please join us in commemorating this achievement! Whether you are an original or a new subject, I do hope you’ll find these tales monstrously entertaining.

You should receive a message in your Tapas inbox soon, giving you some keys!

Thank you for your patronage!

Another “Simon’s Snack”!

Is a 150 year old case of death under suspicious circumstances closed, or was a monkey wrongly accused? You be the judge.

This story answers a question asked a while ago, about mysteries I could never solve. It addresses my time in Virginia City, during the silver mining boom. It contains a lovely Chinese recipe! You may find it at Tapas!


Participate in the short story collection by asking your questions in the segment at the end! You may be featured in an upcoming story!
