Have you ever read a Kindle Short Read? They're Kindle books, but generally quick reads of two hours or less. They're all the rage for writers and readers these days.
Naturally, I want to write one. Well, I have written one, it's been through a beta review and now I'm fixing it up for publishing. My goal is to have it published before the end of May. Here's a look at the draft cover (changes are happening):
It's a fun space opera (never thought of it like that but that's what one beta reviewer called it so I'm going with it) presented in small episodes - short reads of about 90 minutes each.

The Contest!
I've read a bunch of Kindle shorts in the Science Fiction category since that's what I'm writing. I have to say that they are all pretty much awful. Except for a few by already established authors, I never made it past chapter one of any of them (paid or free).
So I want to know if you've found ones that you liked and enjoyed so I can read them too!
Rules:
- Comment your thoughts on the science fiction Kindle short reads you've read and tell me the names of the good ones.
- If you haven't read any science fiction ones, tell me about any fiction short reads you've read, what was good and what wasn't so good.
- If you haven't read any Kindle shorts, tell you what you think about the idea of these little books. Do you think they're a good idea, and would you read one or do you prefer longer stories?
