I've noticed one sad trend. Short stories don't get enough love. If you've written flash fiction, a short story, novelette, or novella, feel free to share it with our members here. This thread will make it easier for readers seeking short fiction to discover new works. As this thread grows, I'll compile the books mentioned in your posts to the OP List. Note to Authors: If you want your book added to the index list, please use the KB Link-Maker to add a text-link to your post. Books mentioned in posts without a proper text-link WILL NOT be added to the list. |

 Dr. Katie McCarty DVM, is called in to assess the 'mutilation' of a horse. She finds a crazy woman who calls herself a 'Horse Whisperer' running a barn full of teen-aged girls and young stallions. This is a recipe for disaster - luckily Dr. McCarty's there when it strikes. (7k words) 'Impressive Bravado' Kindle profile page. |

Thanks for starting this thread. I am all about shorts!
I've put out three short story collections in my Flirts! series: Flirts! Beach Flirts! and Holiday Flirts! Each collection features five linked, sweet, funny romantic short stories. Each story is 8,000-12,000 words long. I've been getting a really good response to them, hearing from people who didn't think they liked shorts! Other people are enjoying them on their lunch breaks or during their kids' sports practices. Volume 1 of Flirts is 4.7 star rated on Amazon. I'll be putting out a new collection every other month.
Spouse Hunting is my sweet romance novella and is 4.6 star rated on Amazon.
