Thing's I'll Never Say contains my only professionally published short story 'Stormclouds Fleeing from the Wind', which is a prequel story to Shadows on the Moon, starring Akira and depicting the events of her infamous Shadow Ball. It's one of my favourite things I've ever written, and I urge fans of the book to check it out for that alone - but I also think it's a great collection which a rich variety of stories which would please any short story fan |
