>May is Short Story Month

>As I mentioned not long ago, I am happy about Dan Wickett’s (over at Emerging Writers Network> declaration of May as Short Story Month and I’m going to do my best to keep up. I see that Dan has links to a few others who are doing the same, so be sure and visit EWN to see what everyone is up to.

My plan is to highlight a different collection every day of the month. I can’t promise I’ll have read every story in every collection, but I’ll do my best. At the very least I’m going to be able to move a lot of books out my waiting-to-be-read piles!

I’ll be posting about the first book later today. It’s one I didn’t mention in the list I posted last week, so it’ll be a surprise! Stay Tuned . . .
