WHEN GYMKHANA SMILES, the short story. This is a standalone available on Kindle for 99 cents http://amzn.com/B005CWGIQ6 and in the short story collection TWISTED RIXTER http://amzn.com/B00HQ0PH1O. It’s a horror story, as you might guess from the cover.

It’s also the only story I’ve ever sold professionally to a magazine. Unfortunately, the magazine folded before it was published. I later asked for my rights back and put it in the TWISTED RIXTER collection.

One other thing. A low-budget horror film producer once considered making a film from WHEN GYMKHANA SMILES. I was so flattered, but didn’t expect it to go anywhere, which it didn’t. The story as it is would only have made the ending of the film. Something the producer realized before I did.

At the time, I thought it was the best thing I’d ever written. I’ve gotten a lot better since then. I still like the plot and the characters.
