Stories I Love: November 2018
If you take two of the above, you have a good story. If you have all three, and it fits my tastes, you end up with a story I love. There are some good ones below, two you can go read right now. Stories read in November: 33
Stories I Love: October 2018
I bring it up because I really wanted to hit the story-a-day goal this month and knew I wouldn't have time while in Texas. So, on the plane ride there, I read three stories quickly and completely focused. Normally it's something I fit into the cracks of the day, reading a bit her...

Stories I Love: February 2018
Here’s a few things that kept some of the good ones from making it on this list (cataloged here as a reminder to myself and any other writer who happens to be reading this): Just as a reminder, all the stories I read in February are loved, an editor bought them and put t...
