Amazon Shorts are short essays or fictional pieces available exclusively on Amazon.com for only 49 cents! You can download the story, have it emailed to you, or read it immediately online. There's nearly 1,800 Amazon Shorts available - with 60 titles by Black Authors. Earlier I listed over a dozen different titles for your reading. Here's a list of new titles and African American authors on Amazon Shorts:
