    I think your tiny books may have just saved this teacher's "asteroid." I'll let you know (hopefully the academic coordinator will approve).

      I am so glad if they can be useful! The Sufis are coming in October, and then Anansi in November. There are so many of these collections I want to create just based on my own interest (I'm learning so much!), and it's even better to know they might be useful to others. :-)

    I love the Sufis! I have one student who likes fanfiction. I am going to check out pressbooks to motivate him.

      Excellent! I'm going to see if some students in my class want to do a microfiction anthology together this semester. I'll document my process here if we do that. People have written some great 100-word stories so far, and it's just Week 3. :-)

    Can I put in a request for Goha stories?

      You read my mind, Vanessa! Seriously, I have a bookshelf with stories about all the wise-fools I could find, including Goha/Juha. And now that I am retired (YES! I have joined the ranks!!!), I will have time to circle back around to all the projects like that I had put aside. But I promise: the Goha books are waiting patiently on the shelf for me to come back to them! :-)
