I recently picked up Cate Gardner’s short story collection, Strange Men in Pinstripe Suits, for my Kindle. I’m really enjoying it so far. Because I picked it up during e-book week, I ended up winning a copy of Space and Time with Cate’s story, “Flying Dutchman”, in it as well as a $10 Amazon gift card. Since Cate was so generous to me, I’d like to return the favor. I’m giving away three (3) copies of the Kindle edition of Strange Men in Pinstripe Suits.
