UK Amazon Kindle Forum discussion

I want to sort out a reading list of our authors stand alone short stories and novellas and read as many of them as I can in a week. I don't want huge collections of short stories as they take as long as a novel, in most cases.

Could you please post the title and an amazon.uk link to your book(s) for me so I can make sure I've got it and can then find it in my archive to add to a collection on my kindle?

Thanks groupites!

The 'Week of the Indies' commences on Feb 19th!

I think you might be one of the few who has read this already, Patti, but I'll psot it anyway.

Orlando's Gift http://www.amazon.co.uk/Orlandos-Gift...

I'm pretty sure you've already picked up Something Nice - 10 Stories, which is a collection, but not a huge one :)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Something-Nic...

Thanks both!

Yep, you're already both in the 'read' pile.

There's mine - I was about to take them down, but I'll leave it a day or so before that in case you are interested, Patti

There's my relatively shortish novel GABRIELLA:

Here's Shelter from Thunder.

Just in case you're interested I'll be releasing 'Claire and the haircut of Doom' on Monday, Patti. It's the sequel to 'Claire and the Party' from the group book. :-)

Cornelius Harker's supernatural novella - not in Gothic language Patti!

Hi Patti,

I can recommend (well, they are mine!) 'Maureen goes to Venice' and 'A Letter for Maureen'. They are both stand-alone longish shorts or shortish novellas, whichever way you look at it.

DM Andrews has http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pied-and-Prod... Novella.

We heard you the first time! Are you having problems posting too, ignite? It took me about twenty tries to submit my post.

What part of amazon.uk didn't you understand?

The Welsh aren't thick. You need to live there longer, Will. ;)

'Snot my fault. I got it from my Ammy author page.

Damn Colonials!

Claire and the haircut of Doom has just gone live, Peppermint P.! The first free day in on the 6th of this month, if you're interested. ;-P

Oh yes, thanks Deedeedarling!

Thanks to everyone who has been helping me on this thread.

I'm really looking forward to the week!

Hi Patti ... here's my novella, the Spanner. Amazon have kindly agreed to stop making me pay people to read it, so now it's free.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Spanner-A...

Wow Paul!

THANK YOU!!!

I love your stuff!

You've made my day, dude!

I made your day? Awesome, that just made *my* day. Which came just in time, because my day's nearly over.

Lol!

Have a good night then, Paul!

I'm going to post it in the freebie thread so everyone can grab a copy!

Thanks Patti!

That's a gudun Patti. Loved it!

Hey Patti :-)

I'm always busy but just stumbled across this thread. If you're still looking you can find one of my short stories 'Burning Desire' here:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Burning-Desir...

It's not erotica!

Thanks David!

The Heist: http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Heist-ebo...

Sheesh Shaun.

Do you really think I didn't grab it the minute it went live?

Thanks, Patti. Just thought I'd plug it anyway ;)

Oh yes of course you should plug it!

I'll read it ASAP, of course.

Hi Patti
I've just managed (at last) to upload my first completed short story to the 'creative writing' section of goodreads 'Journey Home'. It didn't give me a link so I don't know if you can get to it.
TQ

Erm.

Find the page it's on and copy and paste the URL?

Well Patti, knowing your penchant for the gruesome, you might enjoy David Haynes brand new quartet of shorts, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mask-of-the-M...

Very Victorian sounding, too.

Thanks Ignite!

Getting to my story;

Under Explore, click on Creative Writing then search TonyQ and it pops up!

You need to sort out how to copy a link, Tony. :)

http://www.goodreads.com/story/show/3...

How did you find that? And how DO you copy a link?

TonyQ wrote: "How did you find that? And how DO you copy a link?"

When you are on the page you want to link to, highlight the address in your address bar, right click and copy then paste into your message.
Simples ;-)

The address bar!! It was the only place I didn't look!! Ha! Will do it in future. You've read that one anyway - give or take a couple of tweaks.

You could try http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tales-Strange... there are eight short stories here, of differing lengths, so you could pick and choose according to how much time you have at that particular moment! They are along the lines of Tales of the Unexpected / Twilight Zone, if you like that sort of thing. :)

I might be too late, but you could try Love, Life, and Loss: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Love-Life-and.... Fifteen shorts – some very short, three about 5k words.

I don't know if I'm too late, but you could try, Love, Life, and Loss: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Love-Life-and.... Fifteen shorts about love, life, and loss, surprisingly. Some very short, two or three about 5k words.

I LOVE that sort of thing! Thanks Bev! I've scooped it!

Added to TBR as well.

Hi Patti,

I'm not sure whether you're into zombie story's, but my novella - Pacifier 6, The Shadows Within, is an attempt to break away from the standard zombie attack book. It might be a little too long for what you want (30K) words, but I thought I'd mention it.

Got that back in November, Michael.

Have moved it to my Dubai collection but I think I already read and enjoyed it.
Will double check that's its not already in my 'get yer arse in gear and review these stories' collection. ;)

No worries! Seems like you've got quite a long list. :D

Yep. I love the thought of completely immersing myself in wonderful story after wonderful story for an entire week!

Gonna be great being there with Gingerlily and discussing what we're both reading as well.

I can't wait!
