Here are some stories of mine for your reading pleasure. These really are free for you to download, pass on to your friends, pin on your wall, put on your Kindle, whatever floats your boat. I just ask that you respect copyright and give credit where credit’s due. And if you *really* like them, why not tell me so I might be encouraged to write more! Use the comments at the bottom to give me feedback. Or if you would like to provide feedback via email, send your encouragements or kind critiques to cds-at-colindsmith.com (replacing the -at- for @).
You will need Adobe Reader or something that lets you read pdfs to view these.
