Year of the Anthology

A week into the new year and it's already shaping up to be the Year of the Anthology. I'm enjoying it, as I've been fortunate to be a part of many of these appearing or set to appear of late.

I wrote here recently of PS Books Stripped anthology, which you can buy now at Amazon and Lulu.

Next came news that Robert Vaughn is putting together a chapbook of stories read over the past year on his Lake Effect's Flash Fiction Friday show. Robert read my Pushcart nominated story "Coming By It Honest" on that show and will now be including it in the chapbook along with others shared on his segment over the course of 2011 in the near future. I'm thankful to Robert for that gesture, and for offering me the chance to be a part of the program in the first place. I'll keeps those interested posted as I'm updated on the project's development.

And only yesterday, I received a surprising correspondence that Meg Tuite has published a collection of the stories compiled during Used Furniture Review's Exquisite Quartet series, an endeavor that brought numerous fine collaborative stories from a host of writers, including a collaboration from this simple storyteller called "Couple Counseling." That anthology can now be snatched up here via Lulu. Please have a look and get a copy, if you'd be so inclined.
