Longer Fiction, and Serials

~ beetleypete

Recent comments from the lovely ladies Maggie and Jude made me realise something. I have a lot of new followers, and many of them are engaging regularly on the blog now. Most of them have not read many of my previous works of longer fiction, and they were not around for the start of most of the serials either. Rather than reblog so many stories, I thought I would put up this post, with links to them, and some idea what they are about. Hopefully, this will entice some new readers to explore those older pieces, and they might even enjoy reading them too. 🙂

It Begins.
A heartless serial-killer, planning with meticulous precision. It has some dark themes. 12,500 words.

    1. I will do something similar for you, and send it by email, Christina.
      I had completely forgotten this post! I hope you enjoy ‘Benny Goes Bust’. There are big chunks of my own life in that story. 🙂
