Take One At Bedtime
Nobody ever goes upstairs in Margaret’s house. So what is making the strange thumping noises up there? And why is there a toy rabbit under the kitchen table?
Margaret’s Ghost is just one of a collection of short stories consisting mainly of horror and science fiction, ranging from a classic gothic tale – Jack Trevellyn – to the Wyndhamesque Victim of Fortune, and the modern Waiting for Daddy, with its spine-chilling twist.
There is also the occasional excursion into romance with A Castle in Spain and Jess’s Girl.
But most of these tales take you to a place which is not quite as it seems.
It’s bedtime now. Time to go upstairs. Time to take a look.
Just one look.
WARNING: Do not exceed the stated dose.

Winter Wonders
Mantequero by Jenny Twist
Nobody had ever wanted to kiss June until she met her holiday romance.
Ignacio couldn’t get enough of her, though. But was it just kisses he wanted?
Or did he have a more sinister purpose?

I think short stories are enjoying a renaissance at the moment, Jenny, with ebooks and ipads.
These sound a thrilling collection!
All your books looks great Jenny! I'm so enjoying Read A Ebook Week! I happen to love short stories.
Hi Criss. I'm so glad there are people out there who love short stories
Hi Jenny and Lindsay,
As an author of short stories that are not romance either, we have something in common. I'm glad they are enjoying a revival. Your stories sound wonderful and I wish you much success. Linda
Hello, Linda
How lovely to meet you. I'm so glad you like the sound of my stories. I'll be keeping an eye out for yours!
Hi Jenny,
I love anthologies and have participated in several with Victory Tales Press. I have a new short story out just this week, Jason's Angel, that had actually appeared in an anthology earlier (last year) and is now selling as a single-sell for .99. If anyone is interested in my short stories and anthologies you can go here:

Your stories sound right up my alley and the anthologies look great.

I had to stop because I write funny, short romantic fiction and it isn't often people blog about this topic. I believe more and more people are becoming interested in this for a nice quick read. Thanks for posting!!!
I agree with Vicki, it's not often people blog about short fiction, but it lends itself to so much, not least that morning/evening commute where there's only elbow room for a smartphone screen.
Short fiction can also convey as much emotional impact as novel-length. Look how many movies have come out of short fiction.
Good for you, Jenny. Keep it up.
I'm also glad shorts are making a comeback. So far I only have a few up as free reads at Smashwords but I have thoughts of an anthology or two in the works.
Good luck with your shorts, Jenny!
Short fiction is enjoying a renaissance and it's all good! Continued success, Jenny.
I love your short stories, Jenny. They always leave me wanting more!
Hello Cheryl
Another new friend! And lover of short stories, to boot! Isn't wonderful that we can issue them now as single sells.
I'll go and have a look at your page in a minute.
Love

Hi Vicki
I am told that short fiction is making a comeback. I certainly hope so. I love both reading and writing it.
So nice to meet you
Love Jenny
Hello Linda
I am so pleased you left a comment. I enjoy your short stories so much. And I agree with everything you say regarding their emotional impact. Not to mention the film possibilities!
Hello LK
I do think you should issue your short stories as an anthology. It's so nice to have a whole book with your name on the front!
Thanks, Savanna
I hope you're right!
You are so nice to know, Tara. I love your stories, too.
Just realized I missed your comment, Lindsay. Duh!
Thank you so much. You are always so supportive and I love your site
Love
Jenny
