Thanks for the mention, Sandra. Though I only really only see Brit Grit as a mini- collection, if there is such a thing!
Good to see the anthology/collection alive and well!
I think the mini-collection is becoming quite common, Paul. It's easy to put 5 to 10 short together and get them out there for $.99 so people can become familiar with your work through another medium.
I agree, Chris!
