Hi, Pamela,
I've been away for a little bit and didn't read this until now. I assume by "last three" you mean the books in my sig? Yes, those are mine. Thank you for checking them out!
BTW - very short stories (shorter than Steven's rules) are a specialty of some people. It's usually called "flash fiction" or "short shorts." There are a number of markets for them, although most don't pay. However, people who are fans of the form are very enthusiastic.
They tend to be literary or horror, but most are open to other genres. (Quick twist stories are the specialty. I think of them as "instant Hitchcock episode" stories.) There are a few big paying markets for these too - but the competition is fierce. (Woman's World is one, although I think they stopped buying the very short mysteries and now only buy "solve it yourself" or romances which are slightly longer.)
I'm planning on writing a bunch of flash fiction during NaNoWritMo - not to publish myself, but to publish out in the world to get my name out there more.
