I liked the idea of an online anthology so I've collected together links to five flash stories that I've read and enjoyed lately. I've even given my anthology a name. You'll find the table of contents below.

Not everyone will enjoy my choices, but then everyone has different tastes in stories. And that's the thing about anthologies isn't, it? You get to sample a little bit of everything. But the true joy comes in finding an author whose work you enjoy enough to seek out more of. If you'd like to put together an anthology on your blog, let me know, and I'll link to it. Maybe this is something we could turn into a weekly or monthly celebration of shorts. Let me know what you think.

Thanks, Sandra. I'm honored to be on the list with such other wonderful authors and stories.
My pleasure, Jim! It was a great story. Besides, I love pointing readers in the direction of stories they might otherwise miss.
