Jumping the Curb

As readers we tend to get stuck in a rut with our reading. The same writers, the same zines, the same old story retold. So I've been reading outside my comfort zines and decided to share some stories with you. They're short and won't take much of your time but they'll stick with you a while, make you think, and that's the purpose of a good story.

If Only It Had Rained Cats and Dogs by John Sharp

The Woman on the Sidewalk by Ben White (if sex offends you, please don't read)

The Girl Who Loved Bugs by Robin Koman

Darn you girl. You give me too much to read.

So many stories, too little time. Besides, they were too good not to share.

Thanks for the stories, Sandra. And also, thanks for all the market info. I just sold a story to a market you mentioned on the Short Mystery thread, L&L Dreamspell. Thanks for the useful blog!

Yeah!! I'm Snoopy Dancing for you, Conda! It's always nice to hear when someone places a story with a market I mentioned.

I wonder what Bill Crider will think about "It Rained Cats And Dogs?"

Funny you should say that, Cormac. I was thinking about him when I read the story!
