If you’re anything like me, sometimes you don’t have time to settle into a full-length novel—but you still want to escape into a good story.

That’s exactly why I created this collection of short fiction.

Here you’ll find stories from across my various writing worlds: romance, historical fiction, fantasy adventures, holiday tales, and the occasional story that simply refused to wait its turn.

Some first appeared on the Books by Alicia blog, while others were written exclusively for readers who enjoy shorter, satisfying reads.

Whether you’re looking for a quick afternoon escape or a story to enjoy with a cup of tea before bed, I hope you’ll find something here that makes you smile, laugh, dream, or simply forget the world for a little while.

Happy reading!
