  1. Thanks so much for including my story, Col! What a nice surprise, and I appreciate it. I do like dipping into short stories sometimes. They can give you a real sense of a writer's style, and they're great when you don't have a whole lot of time to invest in a longer novel.

    1. My pleasure, Margot. I can't keep up with everything out there, but immersing myself into a range of short fiction every quarter, works well for me.

    1. No worries, Tom. Hopefully I catch all your new ones and they don't sneak past me!

  3. An interesting list of stories, Col, and impressive. I read "We All Become Our Mothers" by Kate Felix because the title was so great. Short but effective. I checked out the two by Margot, which I had missed earlier. Both very good. I will come back and try some more links.

    1. Tracy, thanks. All tend to be on the shorter side of the format.
