I’m happy to say that a piece of my flash fiction has just been published by Antipodean SF. It’s a whimsical little yarn about a book. Therefore it’s called “The Book”.
You can read it here. Let me know what you think.

Believe in the blood

Write The Fight Right
“The best way for a writer to learn what’s really involved in brawling, short of going down the pub and starting something.”

I love the twist! That was a great story. The image of the demon plucking the head and popping it into his mouth, flavored just as he liked it, had me laughing.
My brain is like chocolate to be savored?!
Cantagrian is some sort of grain. And obviously a word that calls forth elementals.
Good story!
Laura – thanks very much.
Ellie – Brains, chocolate, it’s all in the flavouring… Thanks!
Excellent!
Congratulations on the publication.
Thanks Karen.
