Dear Ms. Murdarasi, With world attention focusing on the Games of the Thirtieth Olympiad, what better time to read your short story “Running for Cover” which is now available for free at Smashwords. Sick of the Olympics already? Isla is with you but might have an even better reason not to want it shoved down(…)

Dear Ms. Fallon: I am a romance reader and rarely read non fiction. While this collection of stories are fictional, they are loosely based on men and women that live in military bases probably across the world. I don’t doubt that these stories have been replayed a thousand times in the real lives of individuals(…)

Dear Ms. Pekkanen: According to the Amazon bio, you are an acclaimed fiction writer which would be why your name is unknown to me. I rarely read outside the romance genre. Your publicist sent this to me and as I do with all books sent to me, I opened and read the first page. The(…)

I read a lot of novellas or stories that are even shorter than that. Torquere, for instance, regularly puts out stories that are 10 pages, or 20, or 30, but I don’t bother requesting them because how could I justify a review? But I figure if I review 3-4 shorts in one post, then I(…)

Dear Ms. Beecroft. I enjoyed, as I always do, your sublime prose and the beautiful love story. I had more reservations about this story than I have for the previous two of yours I reviewed, though, reservations all revolving around the plot. In addition, I’m pretty much paranormaled out, so reading a ghost story was(…)

Dear Ms. McLeod, You’ve never let me down with any of the past novellas of yours I’ve read and you don’t do it this time either. I confess that I was slightly dismayed at the length of the story which formatted to 20 pages on my reader. She’s going to get two people together that(…)

Click Here for a popup window or click below to run the liveblog straight from the DearAuthor website. Summary: We had an interesting discussion about m/m topics given that two of my gay friends came to liveblog with us. I liked Mitchell’s voice in this story and would definitely read another one, but(…)

Dear Ms. Samms: Please write more quickly. Or just, more. You’ve got five free short stories (up to 14K words) plus three interconnected mini-shorts on your website, and one recently published short at Freya’s Bower (and one other so far unrecoverable short on a defunct online magazine–if anyone can recover, I’ll love you forever). (Oh,(…)

Dear Ms Ruger, After being pleasantly surprised by “Eight Minutes,” I decided to take advantage of the February romance sale at Fictionwise and try some of your other stories. I bought “Dessert for Two,” “Morning Coffee,” and “Jason Taylor Kissed Me” along with the trilogy of novellas included in “It Must Be Love.” While I(…)

Dear Ms. Rusch, I wasn’t aware when I bought this that it is a short story. But I was an ebook novice then and thought I had just gotten a good deal on the price. I know authors have no control over price and compared to Quinn’s famous Second Epilogues this one is cheap but(…)
