Blind Date, a Wordsworth Short, is published today! This is one of the complete stories I discovered recently. It’s one I wrote a long time ago when this kind of twist ending story was all the rage. I’m sure I did send it out, and I mostly got form reject letters, but I remember one editor saying it was a...

The Last Chick Fledges, a Wordsworth Flash Fiction, is published today! This very short story is one I wrote for an assignment. I won’t say what the assignment was as it includes a spoiler. The tutor didn’t like it much and once again told me to bunch dialogue together in paragraphs that didn’t need separating for different speakers. The first...

Out now!

On Monday, Pippa & Davey Forever was published as a Wordsworth Flash Fiction! This very short story is one I wrote from a prompt in a writers’ guide. The prompt was ‘skin’. That was it. Nothing else. Just ‘skin’. Apparently one of the glossy women’s monthlies ran it as a competition. Once I had that one word, I rattled the...
