The Nightfall Archive exists as a permanent home for my short stories. Many of these stories will be new to you, many have only ever been published before in limited edition booklets. Where appropriate the title pages carry previous publication information and also a short piece about the story itself, such as what inspired me to write it. The stories here represent much of my work from 1990 to 2000. I hope you like them, and I look forward to hearing what you think of them.

At the moment I am in the process of building up the archive with internal and external links and will hopefully add a few stories every time the site is updated.

Feel free to download the stories, print them out, copy them for your friends, but please do not attempt to use them commercially without seeking my permission. Any of these stories are available for republication, if you are an editor and are interested in using any of them, please get in touch.

EXTERNAL LINKS :

Although I check all links for accuracy before updating this site, often publishers will shift the actual location of files, so with external links I have given the 'root' link of the site homepage only - use the relevant site's index to find the particular story.

THE HEAVEN STORIES

I originally wrote these stories in 1997 and 1998 and have always planned to expand upon them. War in Heaven and Heaven on Earth were combined into a single story at the request of Graham Evans of The Edge magazine, and published on their website, but otherwise have never had much exposure. For best results, read in the sequence below. I present them here, uploaded on February 3rd 2003, as a tribute to the shuttle crew of the Columbia.
