A Thousand Perfect Things | #A2ZChallenge23
A2Z Book Review | Shafter by Margaret McGaffey Fisk
Shafter has been on my kindle a while, possibly since 2016. I’m not sure where it came from, but I suspect it was a promotional copy. It’s also been up into the top five of my ‘next to read’ on
The Frozen Lake | #writephoto Flash Fiction
The Frozen Lake is this week’s #writephoto prompt from KL Caley of New2Writing.com. I confess when I first saw it, I thought it was some unworldly light and a black, starry background. But it’s just black of trees! I tried
The Shopping Spree | #writephoto Flash Fiction
Shopping is not my favourite occupation. I wondered how Sir Woebegone might cope with a shopping spree. Naturally the whole topic came to me as a result of this week’s #writephoto prompt from KL Caley at New2Writing.com. This splendid photograph
Skull-duggery | Flash Fiction #writephoto
Skull-duggery; skulduggery is mischief, of an underhand sort. And today’s picture prompt ‘skulls’ from KL Caley at New2Writing.com suggested skulduggery to me. I hope you enjoy the story, 985 words with some old friends — and here’s the #writephoto prompt:

The Crow and his Guest – Portal | #writephoto Flash Fiction
The Crow of Nine-World is no longer on this blog, since he’s in one of my flash fiction collections–Critters and Crises, probably. Although there are two stories about him… I wonder what the other one is called? Oh yes. Anyway,
T is for Time and Tinplate #AtoZChallenge2021
Time and Tinplate is the third of my 2021 Flash Fiction Collections. It’s coming out in June –the 10th to be precise– and features the stories in which time or time travel are of the essence. And it’s my T
Book Reviews | Flash Fiction collections by Rebecca M. Douglass
Rebecca Douglass is no stranger to this blog, and readers here will likely have visited The Ninja Librarian to read the flash fiction on Rebecca’s blog too. We both got the idea of flash fiction collections at the same time,
Cataloging my Short Stories
I’m cataloging my short stories/flash fiction with the idea of producing some collections next year. At present I’ve listed over 200 flash fictions of more than 500 words. Putting them in rough genres didn’t seem to help, so I’ve now

P is for People I knew in the Past #AtoZChallenge2018
People I knew in the Past is a pretty weak subject for P in my A to Z of inspirations, but then, the past does make you who you are, and sometimes the people who are gone and forgotten come
#IWSG | I Quit! Or do I?
Our Insecure Writers Support Group theme of the day is: Did you ever say “I quit”? If so, what happened to make you come back to writing? Before I get around to answering the question… a big THANK YOU to
#Fi50 | The Knight’s Dilemma
Time once again for the Bookshelf Gargoyle‘s fantastic Fiction in Fifty Words monthly challenge. As usual you can join in, you don’t even have to sign up, although adding your gem to the #Fi50 monthly post is a good idea.
Friday Flash Fiction | Disappearing Act
This week Chuck asked for ideas, and I suggested taking the last line of last week’s flash as the first in next week’s, but in a different genre. The alternative would be to use the first line and write to
