I had the honor of guest-editing the latest issue of SmokeLong Quarterly, a fine online literary journal dedicated to short-short fiction. The experience was a rewarding one and I talk about it a bit in the guest editor's introduction.
One of the interesting things about SmokeLong is that the editors interview the authors about their piece and the stuff they choose to reveal (or not reveal) is often as arresting as the fiction itself. A link to each and every story and interview in the issue appears at the bottom of every page, so you can jump around intuitively.
If you enjoy reading short-short fiction, please do check it out and feel free to tell me what you think in the comments below.
It's a great issue, Jim. Well done!
