Free Stories, Prologues and Epilogues
|
Some stories don’t fit neatly between covers—and some are simply too fun not to share. On this page, you’ll find all of my free fiction in one place: short stories, prologues, epilogues, and bonus scenes that expand the worlds of my novels or stand happily on their own. Whether you’re curious about a series you haven’t tried yet, want a little extra time with characters you already love, or just feel like sampling something new, consider this your open invitation. No sign-ups, no strings—just stories, on the house. New stories are first given out to my newsletter subscribers-- so if you want to be among the first, sign up at Plakcy.substack.com. |

I had to delete a chapter from the book I really liked. But it's a great introduction to Wally and Jonathan. |
