Next year, I resolve to keep a more complete list as I'm certain I've missed a really important story (oh and yes, it's by you). I'm so far behind with my short story reading it's insane... I have a few issues of M-Brane SF to read, ditto Murky Depths and Postscripts. I also have my free issue of Black Static, the October issue of Necrotic Tissue, Space and Time, and several anthologies to devour.
Oh, and an extra note. My top three anthologies of 2009 are...
1. Malpractice edited by Nathaniel Lambert
2. Tainted edited by Aaron Polson
3. Grants Pass edited by Jennifer Brozek and Amanda Pillar
*Note to members of the Academy Awards - never put me in charge.

No Apex stories. Guess I'll have to try harder next year!
Now, I feel guilty as I haven't read as many Apex stories as I should. I shall make it my resolution to devour every one next year.
I see a lot of Grant's Pass in there. I will definitely have to add that to my to buy list.
Jamie, I could probably have added more Grants Pass stories but I thought it was getting a little excessive. :D
I shall spread the word.
I'm ashamed to say that I've read so few of those. I have a few of those sitting on my hard drive, though. And, I have Tainted on backorder with Amazon right now. I guess my goal for '10 needs to be reading more small market shorts.
Awww, shucks, Cate.
You know I'm blushing, right?
(and Jamie, Grant's Pass is wonderful)
Woo-hoo! I'm winner : )
Thanks, MG
Jeremy, I have the same goal. I've neglected many wonderful sites this year.
Jeremy, I may have already mentioned it was my favourite in the antho. :D
Aaron, you should be used to it from me by now. Oh, and Kurt Newton has been spreading news of the Sand Chapbook line on the Shock Totem forum. Woot!
Natalie, always.
Nothing from Murky Depths either? :(
Terry, only because I have 3 unread issues in my 'to read' pile.
I love seeing comments like this... I have always liked that story, but baseball horror stories are a hard sell...I can say this having written at least three...very glad you enjoyed it.
David
I try to keep track of the books I've read but I never think to keep track of short stories.
Yay, I'm so glad you liked Grants Pass! I love Tainted, too-- it's one of the first things I got this year, actually. I need to do a goodreads review, thanks for reminding me.
And in other news, er, thanks man!
Thanks so much for reading and mentioning my story, Cate! You made my week!!!!
David, I hope you sold the other two.
Danielle, I kind of failed on that point too.
Katey, I believe the word is loved.
Carole, thanks for leaving a comment. :D
Oh, thanks for the mention! I say belatedly, but you should see my cheeks flushing with pleasure. :)
I came back because I wanted to put down your Top Five Reads on my list for 2010. I'm being all organized, now.
-Mercedes
Very belated thanks for the comment on my story here :) It's nice to see it being liked :)
