We had 77 stories this week with three debuts. Please welcome Heather Lloyd, Jack Roth, and , and Tom B. Reeves to the #fridayflash madness party. If your story is not in the list drop by the Collector, add the details, and we’ll get it listed.
Many thanks to Susan for compiling the list for me. Her help here is much appreciated. She also added a handy little plug-in to my blog, WPtouch, which renders the blog much more readable on smart phones. If you use WordPress for your blog you might want to check it out.
I’m not firing on all cylinders, so I’ll cut the chit-chat and turn you all over the stories. Again, thanks to everyone who participates, either as an author or a reader. You make #fridayflash the continuing success it is.
