An occasional series of flash, or sudden, or short-short fictions

Flash fiction

I have, for a while now, occasionally dabbled in what is known as 'flash fiction', 'sudden fiction', 'short-short fiction' - short stories of around 250 words. I had three stories published in a University of Chester collection known as An Anatomy of Chester, edited by former colleague Ashley Chantler. With another former colleague, Peter Blair, Ash Chantler edits Flash Fiction Magazine, which can be found at http://www.chester.ac.uk/flash.magazine. In this space I'm going to post some past and ongoing flash stories of mine, as I find I need a deadline to get me going. I thought of one story a day, as in Ed Hammell's songwriting project (http://hamelltv.com/) but that seemed too much like a yoke across my shoulders, so I will aim for a twice-weekly posting. The first one coming up... up!
