Nonnie Jules, founder of the RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB has added a new category to the #RRBC catalog – Micro Reads.
Here is her definition:
-A micro read is a story, shorter than a short story (standard: up to 7500 words) but longer than a blog post (standard: around 300 – 600 words);
-Its word count ranges from 1200 to 3000 words;
-It’s a story that feels so good to you, you could put it on your blog as a post, but you want its reach to go farther than your blog, therefore, it is publishable;
-A micro read can include one story or up to three stories, and they don’t have to all fall under the same genre. (If you’re a multi-genre writer, this is a great way to introduce all areas of your talent in one quick read);
-A micro read can be read in the span of 5 – 10 minutes;
-A micro read is only in e-book format;
-A micro read should be priced no lower and no higher than $.99 cents.
SO, thanks to Nonnie’s new idea, I give to you my first published Micro Read!
BLURB:
A wild black stallion has cautiously watched a beautiful white mare, from the safety of the forest for many years. He longs to be with her, and ventures close to the barn nightly to communicate with her. They share their deepest desires and secrets. Now it is winter, and the rest of the wild herd has moved on, but the stallion stays. He cannot stand the thought of being so far away from her. The scent of sweet alfalfa hay and enticing lure of the white mare is too much for him. He must find a way to be with her. But will it be worth the risk? Satin and Cinders is a story of courage and determination.
If you have ten minutes and want to check out my new story, it’s available on AMAZON for only 99 cents!

What a great idea!
I picked up a copy yesterday & can’t wait to read it!
Thank you,, Mar!
Just grabbed my copy!
Thank you, Mark!
What a novel idea to have a micro read vending machine. 🙂 I think that for such a short read, anything more than 99 cents would be too much to ask.
Kind of a fun idea. I heard at one point there were stories like this in vending machines in Europe. Drop in your coins, unroll the sheet, and go about your day. Seems odd that she would dictate price so tightly, though.
Lovely name…Satin and Cinders! Wow! Congratulations Jan.
Thank you, Balroop!
Just bought it. As a former horse owner, I want to see where this goes.
I think you’ll enjoy it, John – at least I hope you do. 🙂 Thank you for your support!
I read it last night, Jan. You are right I enjoyed it very much.

Oh Jan- You know I love horses, so before I even post my comment here, I went and purchased it.
What a great idea. Micro reads will be great for us avid readers who are busy and can’t read a normal size book quick, due to work, but needs something to read.
I’m excited. I’ll tell my friends about this and share this link.
Love you and have a great week.
I hope you enjoy this short little story with a message, Tonya! Thank you for helping spread the word! Hugs!
Jan- oh my.. I loved loved it. Now I want another installment to see what happens next.
I picked up my copy, Jan! I used to do this length for kids, but haven’t tried for adults. Might give it a try soon.
Wonderful, Denise! I hope you enjoy this VERY short read.
