My collection Memory Bones is now available in trade paperback and for the Kindle. You can purchase it at the usual online retailers such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble, as well as on the publisher Graveside Tales’ store page. The paperback is retailing for around £9.50 and the ebook version for a very reasonable £2.70.

The collection contains 26 stories, with afterwords, along with many super illustrations by Mark Cartlidge (such as this one for Japanese Motorcycle Clob) and a foreword by the inimitable Cate Gardner.

A signed, limited hardback is available directly from me for £15 + p&p. If you’re interested, drop me a line here or contact me via facebook. Or you can leave a comment on my livejournal and I’ll get back to you.

My novella Lemon Man has been published in paperback and as a Kindle ebook by Creative Guy Publishing.

From the cover: Russell Hamilton is having a hell of a time. His marriage is falling apart, his life-long affliction with sleeping sickness is getting worse, and even managing the simplest matters is pushing his psyche to the breaking point. If only he could go back to the beginning, back to the point where his life made sense, when happiness could be found in a simple ride on a motorbike. Back before the Lemon Man…

Mike Stone, the author of the collections Fourtold and Memory Bones, presents this story of a man simply trying to make sense of a senseless situation, a man haunted by his own deeds and misdeeds, in more ways than he can ever imagine.

Lemon Man also features a fantastic foreword by Graham Joyce. You can purchase the book on Amazon. I have a limited number of signed paperbacks. Please contact me if you are interested in a copy.
