Hi everyone, I just signed up here. I recently got my 1st Short Story published on Amazon kindle. If you're interested, let me know. It's called: The Trials of a Master Thief-Wendybar. It's a fantasy/action/adventure with an unusual protagonist, a fast-paced story and quite a bit of violence.

I've been a member of this group for awhile now but have been a lurker. I will try not to lurk too much now. Back in January I read Chicxulub by T. Coraghessan Boyle. Here's my review and a link to read the story free: http://teddyrose.blogspot.com/2010/01/chicxulub-by-t-coraghessan-bo...

I loved this story so much that I have challenge myself to read more by T.C. Boyle. He has not disappointed!

I would also like to tell you about a weekly event I participate on called Short Story Mondays. It's where I do a short story review and link it to the event host's weekly post. It's hosted by John of The Book Mine set here: http://www.bookmineset.blogspot.com/

Hey everyone, just a note to say that I've just reviewed Thomas Hardy's collection of short stories Wessex Tales, with a bit of preamble about the form itself.

As they say, truth is stranger than fiction. My story, "The Rosary," is actually a short memoir that was published in yet another anthology. This one is The Mystery of Fate: Common Coincidence or Divine Intervention? There's more info on Amazon.

Hello all!

Just stopping by to say hi! I'm a lover of reading and writing short stories. Getting through Thomas Hardy and Flannery OConnor at the moment and I'm happy to take recommendations for any other collections!

Hi, everyone! I wrote this review of Maternity by Lilika Nakos for a link up that never happened. (I think I showed up a week too early or a week to late or something. LOL)

I'm currently planning to go through old favourites from my family's ancient copy of Reader's Digest Great Short Stories of the World.

If you're a fan of time travel, and happen to be into vampires, too, then this one's for you. It's my short story, "A Bite Out of Time". You can download it as a pdf file for FREE by clicking the download button toward the top of this page:

The story is set primarily in Los Angeles in the late 1960s. Blind Man's Bluff (an up-and-coming folk/rock group) is playing a New Year's gig at the Backstreet Ballroom, an historical old building on the outskirts of the city. Many years ago, or so it's said, the members of something called the Blood Cult used to hold some sort of bizarre, depraved rituals somewhere deep in the bowels of the old building. It's just an urban legend, of course. It is. Isn't it? Well, no matter. Vince Blaylock, the lead singer with the band, couldn't have cared less. A full-fledged hippie, a poster child for the Love Generation, and a rising young rock star, Vince was just thrilled to be playing the Ballroom, the hottest venue in town. Everything was just groovy – until he stepped out back to grab a smoke between sets. But you know, a dark alley behind an old building in the middle of the night is probably not the best place to hang out... alone. I mean, something's gotta happen and it's probably not going to be good. Right? And you know the ironic thing? His friends used to tell him it would be the cigarettes that would kill him. You're probably guessing that's not what killed him and you'd be right about that. You're probably guessing it was a vampire and you'd be right about that too. I don't think I'm spoiling anything here because it is a vampire story, right? But that's just the beginning of a tale that takes a most unusual turn. You won't see it coming any more than Vince saw it coming. This is a story of a reluctant vampire's revenge. This is a vampire tale with a time travel twist. This is Twilight meets Twilight Zone.

Come along with Vince Blaylock as he takes a Bite Out Of Time.

Hello, I just debuted a new segment on my blog -- Short Story Spotlight. If there's enough interest, maybe we can make it a Wednesday/Saturday meme? It's about reading individual stories, your thoughts, talking about them. :)
