Read in May, 2008
recommends it for:
compulsive readers that need something to grab when they have just a few moments to read
Like any anthology, this collection of stories has something for everyone. There were several stories that I thoroughly enjoyed, and there were some that didn't excite me at all. The nice thing about this collection is that all the stories are super short, so if you don't like one, you didn't waste a lot of time on it. My favorite one in the collection is "Clawd."

Not that many good collections of short-shorts, but this one is good. I don't say great cause there are a few lemons. But after saying that..."Buddha's Jewels" and "Skin Deep" more than make up for it.

Just out with Ooligan Press, November 2007. (I have two short-short stories in here.) It's a great collection for those who love (or will soon love) flash fiction.

I co-taught an Advanced Editing class that worked on this book. I really enjoyed reading it. I also worked on the marketing end for it.
