Distribution: 6 Anthologies, How Many Libraries

My writing hasn't been anthologized that much but it does happen once every blue moon. Some of the publishers paid, some did not. All were deeply appreciated. The six anthologies pictured above and listed below aren't the only publications to include my short stories and/or my poems within their pages but these books strike me as a pretty varied representational sample and are all are available at a local library... somewhere. (Please note: You may need to travel overseas to get a copy on loan. Library data was gathered via Worldcat.org which is purportedly the world's largest library catalog online.)
