CM Simpson: Writer & Gamer

Not only was I busy as C.M. Simpson, but my younger fiction head was also having a fun time getting out her earlier work. This year, I hope to finish writing a good portion of one of the series I started last year, AND to start on adding to a second one. In the meantime, here is a collation of the first chapters of the 14 chapter books I released in 2013: And HERE is where you can download them as a PDF.

Last year was a pretty hectic one for me, between releasing older work and ceating new short stories and free reads. Here is a collation of the first chapters, first pages and free reads from 2013: And HERE is where you can download the PDF.

Here is my first experiment with uploading files to Blogger. I have collated all the first chapters, first pages, and free reads of work published in 2012 into a PDF file, and connected it below. The links to locations outside the document work fine, but the internal links do not. In order to be able to read the content more comfortably, just click on the little arrow thingy in the top-left corner of the box. This will close the navigation bar, and allow you to read the excerpts and stories more easily. If you centre the slide bar, you should be able to see most of the page width. Please let me know how you find viewing this embedded PDF in the comments boxes below. I was going to write a step-by-step post on this process, but I have found that some excellent posts already exist. On January 6, 2014, I posted a collection of first chapters, first pages and free reads of work published in 2012 as an embedded PDF file. To achieve this, I followed the clear instructions provi...
