Story Bites
A collection of short stories, bonus scenes, and random one-shots created exclusively for Books and Tea League members.
Some of the scenes may explore worlds or characters I've already created. Some are completely new, born in the creativity of the moment. If any of these new ideas are particularly intriguing, they may provide fodder for future full-length stories.
Each of these stories is short enough to enjoy while taking a quick break. So pour a cuppa and enjoy a snack, my friend.

Delphine’s Decision (ROTG)
