New Material

I've disappeared off the blogging radar for a while now. I've been focussing on writing a short story for Spike the Cat's latest competition, so haven't had any new flash fiction to post. The short story's nearly finished though, and I'll aim to get some new material added here soon.

I'm quite pleased with the story itself - I just need to knock the corners off one or two of the characters and make sure the ending is at least vaguely believable. I won't find out the competition results until January, but at that point I'll post the story here. I'll either post the story in full here if it isn't going to be published in the anthology, or just an extract if it is going to be published. (Hopefully the extract will whet your appetite and make you want to buy the book...)

I'm still entering the Cazart flash fiction comps too, but the latest result didn't go my way. I s'pose the piece I entered ('You Don't Know What You've Got') was a bit risky. Never mind. I'll be trying again with another piece this month. I'm thinking of entering 'What If I Just Kept On Driving?' this time.
