Hey all,

I've been writing some short mysteries this year - it started out as a way to amuse someone I care about, and now they're up on amazon, because I thought, well hey, let's try it. Check them out if you're into that sort of thing. Each is less than ten minutes. They're 99 cents, but I can just email them to you if you'd rather save the buck. Also, write me a short review on amazon, so I can see what you think, and say to myself, "Well that's nice that he/she read my stories."

One new review since I posted yesterday (but actually that was just good luck). Still, it was a nice review, so I thought I would include part of it below. Thanks to everyone who's had a look at this thread.

'Although I’m not particularly a fan of mysteries and I loath the Kindle and all other electronic readers, I recently found myself on a broken down bus in The Berkshires and my friend gave me this collection to read. The stories here are very engaging and well written. Mr. Mitchell writes with a clarity of prose that is missing in many of the celebrated writers of today, yet the simplicity of his prose in no way limits him to simple ideas or subjects. These ten stories are tied together by an endearing character—the professor—with a penchant for young women, but a moral integrity that makes him likeable. Perhaps the shortest and least mysterious of these stories is “Great Grand Uncle,” and it’s this story that I found to be the most moving as a meditation on loss and family.' - the doom loop, 5 stars

Yesterday, an Amazon TOP 500 Reviewer gave the stories a 5-Star review, which was so nice. I changed the title of the thread to note that. The Amazon stories are still here:

Water Minute Mysteries 1-10

or you can go to the website and pick out a short one to see if you like it (only the first three stories at the website include solutions to the mysteries, but the Amazon book includes all the solutions):

Also, some of the other threads in this fiction book forum look pretty cool. Talented people out there. Check them out!
