Peter's story was one of my favorites. I hope my own was one that you enjoyed.

I'm on the last story in this anthology, and while i've loved some, i've hated others. Bought it after seeing Michael J. Sullivan's Tweet, but probably wouldn't buy short stories again. Not really my thing.

Short stories are much different than novels, and I fully confess at being better (more comfortable) with the longer form than the short one. I have a really appreciation for people that can tell a compelling story in a limited number of words.

I liked a lot of the stories in this anthology...although I confess that Pat's must be way over my head as I kept thinking, "I just don't get it." Writing a short for it was quite a challenge. Lots of amazing authors in it which really made me feel as though I needed to bring my "A" game. I really liked the Jester...my concept was to show the climax of a book and just have some references to all the stuff that happened to that point.
