Short Stories: KJ Charles<\/a><\/em> <\/p>\n

\"\"
\n“Five for Heaven” (2019) A Charm of Magpies 3.5
\nSet in Nagasaki, three years after A Flight of Magpies<\/em> (15 pages)
\n“A Confidential Problem” (2016) Society of Gentleman 2.5
\nSet in England in 1820 (14 pages)
\n“A Private Miscellany” (2016) Society of Gentlemen 3.5
\nSet in London & Berlin in 1821 (25 pages)
\n“Wanted, An Author” (2018) Wanted, a Gentleman<\/em> 1.5
\nSet in London, 24 February, 1807 (14 pages)<\/p>\n

These are codas and outtakes from various series. None are stand-alone stories, but if you’ve read the books then you should enjoy these.<\/p>\n

As a bonus for me, several of them didn’t even have any boinking.<\/p>\n
