Les Pages aux Folles extra features
Les Pages aux Folles is morphing into a hybrid fiction site/author's page. How can you tell? It now has a bio page! If you are interested in how I got to this point, go to: Ira Nayman: A Life to Laugh At. Enjoy.
If that isn't authory enough for you, below, you will find links to excerpts from my novels. This may, I don't know, hard to tell, but it's possible spur some readers to want to dip their mind toes (you're welcome for that image) into some of my more narrative fiction. If you go to my page of links to where you can buy my books page, you will find links to all of my novels, most of the anthologies in which I have had shorts stories published, and even the issues of Amazing Stories and Amazing Selects that I worked on as editor. There is much to enjoy here. Have fun.
