Shameful Self-promotion

(I don't want to do this but I know I have to)

So I released a couple of books on Amazon's Kindle service.
Well I say books but their just collections of short stories I have written.

The first is just a collection of things I did for my creative writing class.
They are of various genre, topic and setting and I tried to write a small bit after each of them to explain why I wrote what I did.

This is a link to one of the stories as an example and Here is another.

The full collection is on Amazon Here(UK) and Here(US).
It's also somewhere on all the other Amazon sites as well.


The second is a set of stories all based around one central character but never from her viewpoint and she never speaks, forcing you
to try and figure her out through other characters encounters with her.

You can find this one Here(UK) and Here(US).

And you can read one of the stories from it Here.

I've got a question on your writing process. When it came time to have someone proofread/critique your short stories, how did you go about getting it done? I'm almost to that point with some of my work. The last time I needed this done, was in a different locale and I had people there, but here I have no one to do it. Maybe one, but I doubt it. It's kind of bothering me now that I don't have a plan for this part of my writing.

The proofreading I have always done myself, which is somewhat annoying because I always end up re-writing
parts of the stories because I'm never happy with them.

As for critiquing, when I was going to my old creative writing class I had the other people in the class to do that
when my work was read out.
But now that the class does not run any more I don't have anyone to help with that either.

Sorry that I can't be of more assistance in those areas.
