Where Have All the Short Stories Gone?

For any of you who might not have noticed, my short stories have been removed from many of my author pages.  I know, I know, what kind of person wouldn't have noticed such a thing?  I'm sure all of you have been sitting there at your computers, wringing your hands, wondering desperately where all the short stories have gone.  But perhaps one or two people haven't yet noticed.  Let's not judge them.  I'm sure their reason was quite life-threatening.  It's perfectly okay.

Now, let me assure you that you have no reason to panic.  The short stories will be back.  That's right, it's okay.  Take a moment to compose yourself and then I will explain everything…

I would like to start by saying thank you to everyone who bought my short stories while they were available.  I hope that you all enjoyed them.  However, I've chosen to pull those titles from their virtual shelves in order to consolidate them into a single collection which I expect to release sometime this month.  This is solely a marketing decision, as the individual short stories were not selling as well as I'd like to see.  It seems that collections of short stories may be much more popular, which is no big surprise, since they tend to be much better values.

For anyone who missed out on any of my titles for any reason—strange as such reasons must surely be—have no fear.  All four short stories will be available in the new collection along with two brand new short stories never seen anywhere before.  And I'll have a special offer just for my devoted fans right here on this blog.  Watch this site for more details in the near future.

I hope that I have eased your minds and made it a little easier for you to sleep tonight.  Except that now you are no doubt incredibly excited about my new short story collection and wondering about this amazing special offer I have teased to you.  Sorry about that.  If you simply cannot wait, remember that "The Man in the Fire" remains free to read on my website at http://www.HarmonUniverse.com/themaninthefire, so if you haven't read it, head over there right now and check it out.
