Michael Billings:
Novels, Short Stories, Poetry & Other Nonsense

The Complete Portfolio

This book is an ongoing project, and contains all of the short stories and poetry written by Michael Billings from January 2004 to December 2008.  Also included are the beginnings of some unfinished and unreleased novels which cannot be found anywhere else online.  Simply put, this is the essential collection of literature by this young author, and the best deal for the money.

The Standard Edition is 277 pages, 6" x 9", and perfect bound with a glossy cover.  Like all books listed on this page, the front and back covers feature photography by the author.  It is available in both paperback ($14.99) and downloadable PDF format ($4.99).  The Publisher Grade Edition is also perfect bound with a glossy cover, but is printed on less expensive paper, which allows us to sell it at a lower price.  It is available in paperback ($9.99) and ships only from the United States.  Due to a change in paper size (5.5" x 8.5"), this edition is 290 pages long.

Note:  Keep in mind that this portfolio is updated frequently, and that your copy will eventually become outdated. If you wish to purchase a completed work by this author, see his other publications listed below.
