Pretty simple: We read short stories. We write about them. We link to them when we can.

Hey P!
So sweet of you to read PINK SUIT. It was an excerpt from my new novel, not a short story…did VQR forget to mention that? I haven’t seen the print copy. I could see how that would be confusing if that wasn’t mentioned. It’s so not a short story, as you pointed out!
The novel is about Kate who made the suit. I’m so glad you wrote your review of it because it made me really think how people will expect some sort of Grassy Knoll revelation where there isn’t one. It’s really about the little known history of the suit and the woman who actually made it and how it profoundly changed her life. I’ve already had one of the conspiracy people in my face…scary as that was…so I guess I have to prepare for that sort of reading…yikes!
Keep up the good work…thanks again!

Hey N.M.!
The book sounds exciting! I’m looking forward to reading it. It’s nice to know there are still JFK conspiracy theorists out there. I’d assumed they’d all moved on to [REDACTED BY SHADOWY ELITE].
Thanks for writing!
Pat
