Once upon a time I was Lydia O. on a site called Gather.com.  There are still some pieces of mine there, including a long nonfiction piece I’m rather proud of called “Hysterical”.

Anne Stuessy at www.sniplits.com has been kind enough to purchase and produce several of my pieces for her amazing site, where short fiction is available as DRM-free mp3 downloads.  Membership is free and will get you a free story a week, plus access to a wide selection of authors and stories of all genres and sizes.  Anne purchased my microfiction “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” and produced four of my fifty-worders in a package called “Home and Away Stories.”  You can get all five pieces for — are you ready?  Ninety-six cents, total.

Josh over at Yankee Pot Roast took a piece called “Everything I Need To Know I Learned Watching Bravo“.  It’s just what it sounds like.
