I still consider myself to be a newbie and have a lot to learn but the last year, since Rat Fink was published on AToN, has been a blast. I've also very recently started to blog, which is great fun and (hopefully) helping with my writing. Best Wishes. Thanks for the review Keith and the comments – very much appreciated.

I enjoyed The Verdict but can't get into the Johnny Zephyr story despite having a great name! Good selection, again, Keith.

For instance I loved One night Stands and Lost Weekends by Lawrence Block which was nothing but a collection of some his earliest and rawest stories; and all of them were the building blocks (no pun intended) for his career. Medora--Please do, and make sure to check out the websites from which they originated. The web is a wealth of truly great short fiction and the training ground for a number of writers who will eventually move into the realm of novel writing.
