I took a for-credit class during my undergrad days called Exploring the Short Story. It got me hooked. I've already ordered "Do Not Deny Me," but I'm sure I'll get the rest after I read this one.

I find it so interesting to hear an author's writing path. You never know who you might meet at the local establishment! Congrats to Jean! Great blog.

But be advised you'll want to read the others, so you might as well go ahead and order them up right away. Jean's one of the reasons I've come to love short stories. I was lucky enough to take a class she taught, and gained an appreciation for the form and the talented people who turn out these gems.

Just put "Do Not Deny Me" on my Shelfari "Plan to Read" shelf and requested it from the ChiPub. I love it when I find a book that has under 50 readers on Shelfari and then I can watch the numbers rise. I feel so in the know. Thanks, Beth!

A lot has happened to both of you since that memorable day sitting on a barstool in Esquires. Hope you have another memorable time on your barstool at the Hope Leaf Bar in July.

I'm going to order her book. Great walking with you Wednesday. You’ve certainly piqued my interest; Jean’s writing sounds wonderful. I’m going to order her book. Great walking with you Wednesday.
