On Grandma's Porch: Volume 1, an anthology by Debra Leigh Smith, Sandra Chastain, Martha Shields and Maureen Hardegree (et AL), is free in the Kindle store, courtesy of publisher BelleBooks. Be careful searching for it on your Kindle - there are two editions and the other is full price (and actually seems to have a different set of stories, with some overlap, despite both claiming the same number of pages).
