Hello Short Story Writers.

My name is R. Leib, and I have been asked by Elizabeth to take over moderation of this group. If you have any questions for me, please feel free to message me through Goodreads.

We have one more slot open before scheduling reviews. As soon as another writer volunteers, I will post the schedule.

Shannon Haddock Here is my review of The Unfortunate Tale of Talid Farrowheart: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1035398317


message 14: by [deleted user] (new)

Here is my review for "Once a Hero, Always a Hero"
http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

However, I would like to be pulled out of the group, if that is possible?
I had signed up long ago, when the group wasn't even formed.
Shortly after I turned my short story into an illustrated novella (60 k words) and I have depublished the original short story from Amazoon, Smashwords and other retailers - thought I can't remove it from GoodReads.

"The XIIIth Hour at Duskland" is now "The Night of Elisa".

It means I have no short story for review anymore...

Looking forward for a feedback on this, thanks :)
