So Jay, have you any stories in the pipeline?
You clearly have readers who enjoy your work. :)

forget-me-not

Wow Jay!! :D

Claudia

Excellent - well done, Jay!

Jay Mandal

Thanks, Carol, Forget-me-not and Claudia.

I've got enough short stories for a collection - although some need a bit more editing - and I've got about 100 flash fiction pieces. Publishers seem to be rather cautious at the moment, though. :(

Phots Moll

Well done, Jay.

I believe colletions of short stories have always been harder to sell than novels.

LeeH

Congrats Jay a bounty of good reviews, well done!

LeeH

I know what you mean, I'd like to put together a collection of mine. Problem is most publishing houses and agents will only touch a short story collection by one sole author if it's in tandem with a novel it seems.

Jay Mandal

Thanks, Phot's Moll and Lee.

well done Jay, great reviews. Keep on with the collection, with reviews like these someone will take it up.
