Ah, you also noticed the two stories from One Story - seems somebody was just praising them around here. Seriously, visit www.one-story.com and subscribe - I know of at least 20 subscribers that listened to me in the past and NOT ONE has decided to cancel the subscription, and/or not raved to me about how great it is.
Whisnant's story is superb, and I'm not just saying that because I'm an editor for A & L's:) It really is something, and it's nice to see him back in the anthology. He was in the first two, I believe.

So how long will it take you to publish the stories one by one?
