I have three at the moment, Sniffing Glue and Other Tales from the Underclass, The Meat Wagon, and Punk Faction. I can't paste a link here due to forum rules, but you can find them by searching Amazon for Marcus Blakeston or following the links on my blog.
As for samples, 3 pages is enough to tell whether the writer can string a coherent sentence together, but not usually enough to get much of an idea of where the story is heading. What would be ideal would be to let the writer decide precisely where the preview ends. Nobody else does that, at least not without a lot of padding and experimentation. And there's nothing worse than having a sample cut off just before a good bit
