Michael Bracken sent me a very cool link to Kurt Vonnegut's take on drama (it also explains the romance genre!) You can find it here http://sivers.org/drama

When I first decided to make the focus of this blog about short stories, hardly anyone out here was talking shorts. Now there's all kinds of sites and one of them is Chris Ratigan's "Death by Killing" blog where he reviews shorts and points readers towards stories they might have missed. He's just revamped his site and it looks great! He's also opened his blog for fellow reviewers. If you've got a short review, let him know. The more people we have talking shorts, the fewer we'll have screaming the short story is dead :) which we all know it ain't!!

You can find his invitation here http://death-by-killing.blogspot.com/2011/03/dbk-wants-your-reviews.html

Thanks for the link and the props!

Glad you like the site's new look. The background is from one of my favorite flicks, Bladerunner.
