I’m positively giddy at the idea of you way off in California reading my book. I hope that you enjoy the rest of the stories!

I love short stories, and I’m always looking for new authors to love. I don’t mind reading my old favorites over once in a while, but I get so tired of being disappointed by what appears to be going to be good that turns out to be blah. And there are only so many mysteries one can consume before you get tired of the blood bath. After all, in order to have a murder mystery, there must be a murder, and a motive. There is more than enough real life death out there. Most romances are nicely packaged, albeit rather rough, toilet paper; so I don’t even bother usually.

Thanks for the tip, Bloglily.

There’s something inspiring about them — I can imagine reading ten stories!

Tai — I’ve never been there. I remember you mentioning a good cafe in Alameda too. I think I’m going to have to make a trip to the islands.

Hello Patricia — Oh, I’m so glad to hear that. I can’t wait to hear about the book launch. Over here, we only got the doorbell ringing. I’m sure it was much more wonderfully festive at the real thing.

Hi Dorothy, Yes, and the rest of the stories are terrific too.

LK — Thank you for starting the wave of short story meme’ing that’s everywhere now. It’s so fun to see people’s choices. (And I’m waiting for YOUR book, baby — and the party!)

I love short stories. My 10 faves list is up on http://www.wishythewriter.com , as are some links to some good online stories.

I guess it’s not strictly local, since I live in Oakland, not Alameda, but it’s a favorite. Lots of character.

I also went to her book launch – will hopefully blog about it tonight or tomorrow (am recovering from a horrendous allergy attack).

Now, just waiting for your book, Bloglily!

Hello Nova, I don’t read a lot of stories, but this collection makes me realize how foolish I’ve been not to. That list of 15 favorite stories on your site and LK’s has really whet my appetite — and over at a Curious Singularity, Kate’s been doing a great service by hosting a short story discussion group. They’re everywhere. Clearly, the universe is speaking in short stories.

Litlove — the doorbell ringing was probably because the package came from a suspicious source: amazon canada!

Hi Tai — Now I’m curious to know what your favorite local bookstore is, given that we’re neighbors!

I’m looking forward to more of your posts about what sounds like a wonderful collection of stories.

I’ve not read Kate’s work, but I will order this from my little local bookstore. Thank you for the tip-off!
