On All Things Short (Stories, That Is)

Most of you know I play around with short stories. Last year I put them all in a collection called SWEET LITTLE LIES, and now I've broken out some of the individual shorts, the ones that have been anthologized (Prodigal Me, Gray Lady, Lady Gray, Killing Carol Ann, Chimera) and a couple of my early favorites (X, Where's You Get That Red Dress)

The stories are a cool .99 and are now live on both Kindle and Nook. I hope you enjoy them!
