Thanks for the mention, Col - much appreciated! And I don't blame you one bit for the focus on PDB's work. He writes a good story, and I really like his flash fiction. Glad you had a good short story reading month.
ReplyDeleteMargot, you're welcome. I'm always happy to read one of yours!
DeleteI try hard not to be envious of how much you read each month, both short stories and novels. (But I am not successful.) And you watch a lot of TV shows and movies too!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like I have a few collections of Paul D. Brazill stories on the Kindle. I should check them out.
Tracy, thanks.
DeleteI hope you like Paul's work when you get to it.
