Stories and a Poem from 2014

This morning I have imported some of my older stories and a poem from 2014. These were over at my mirror site on Wordpress, and until now I'd been content to let them languish there. I'm considering expanding several of the stories now, so thought I'd post them here on DW as well. I've kept their original publishing dates; mostly because I think my writing has grown/changed since then, and I just preferred to see them in chronological order on the blog.

If you'd like to check any of them out here are some convenient links:

Don’t overstay; it’s a finite welcome you have there - Death has a house on the River.

World Renowned, C. Herish, Whip Master - this story is the beginning of my own take on a BDSM AU.

What Cost - the price for a son's survival will be dire.

Sylvans - this story is the beginning of a science fiction/fantasy mashup; the aliens who seek our aide are nothing like we ever expected.

The Carrion Crow's Cart - a poem, how unusual for me! 

Not Your Everyday Horror - even those who've become inured to the horrors of their job can get a nasty surprise sometimes.
