EditRed is a great online writer’s workshop/networking site upon which I stumbled a few years ago. I generally don’t go in for those things – time suckage, petty squabbles and all that – but I immediately made some friends and got some pretty insightful feedback from members, so I hung around. (It didn’t hurt that I read some really great short stories for free on the site.)

The site tries to put out a couple of books a year when the funds are available, and a flash-fiction piece I submitted for one of their themed competitions made it into the collection that resulted. The anthology is a collection of short stories, poetry and nonfiction called City Smells; my story is called “The Ferryman.” It’s about … barter, I guess, and how when it comes down to it, all we really have to fall back on are our talents.

Anyway, if you’re down, you can order a copy of City Smells through this site’s BUY link. It’s up there on the right.
