    About this ebook

    Passion. Murder. Bloodlust.

    Among these nefarious stories, siblings strengthen their bond by plotting against their aggressor; an animal lover seeks revenge on devotees of the exotic skins trade; and a psychiatrist gets what's coming to him when he abuses the trust of a jaded client.

    These stories take readers straight to the scene of the crime, exploring just how and why people are driven over the edge--and driven to kill.

    The "Owned" Collection is approximately 14,000 words long. A couple of stories have a speculative element.

    Stories Include:

    1. Heart's Blood
    2. Beloved Brother
    3. My Chance Encounter
    4. Skins
    5. Ms. Zeri ("Misery")
    6. Owned

      Begin Again

      Jun 14, 2022

      My grandfather came to live with me. There was nowhere else for him to go. What had happened to all his children? Death, decay, exile—I hardly know. My own parents died of pain. But I must not be too gloomy, at the beginning, or you will leave me, an
