My 10 Favorite Short Stories of 2012

It was another good year for short stories in 2012. It is great this format has made a comeback. The time investment is minimal, yet the entertainment factor is high.  Here are 10 short stories that I really enjoyed for various reasons. I hope you might take the time to give them a read, check out the websites they were published on. If you dig them, maybe visit them in the future, and if the fancy strikes you, submit your own story(s) to them. I huge thank you to the authors for entertaining me so much!

Joe Clifford's has a good one at TK-n-C


Read a really excellent story today over at Thriller's Killer's -n- Chillers by Joe Clifford. It's called "Another Man's Treasure".  This had all the ingredients I love: Excellent writing, tight structure, top-notch description and characters, a whopper of a twist, and most of all, not at all predictable and suspenseful as all hell.

If you feel so inclined, give it a read and drop Joe a comment.  You can find "Another Man's Treasure" HERE

This song popped into my head as soon as I finshed the story. It was also referenced in a scene in my novel, "Mindjacker". Works even better for Joe's tale! RIP Shannon Hoon ( Blind Melon Singer)
