The 48 hour promotional offer of Dark X-Mas Holiday Drabbles: 100 Word Holiday Horror Stories is about to end, and I thought I’d do some checking.

Seems the anthology, which features two of my Christmas horror drabbles, has garnered a whole 10 reviews, 9 of them five stars. The 10th is a one star by someone I suspect doesn’t understand the nature of microfiction, but that’s neither here nor there.

The other thing that really surprised me is that it seems to be selling really, really well. I posted a graphic below that tells the tale.

One of the five star reviews mentions a number of the authors the reader liked, including yours truly. It’s the first time in my fiction publication history that anyone has given a nod to any of my contributions. Yes, it feels good.

I’ll try to pay more attention to how the anthologies I’m featured in are doing. I have also submitted three new stories for possible publication within the past week. Looking at future stories to write, and while I have the time, I’m also feeling kind of sleepy, so I may just hunker down with reading a book for the evening.

The grandkids are coming over for a sleepover tomorrow night, so I know I’ll be up late.

Cheers.
