Six months ago I hadn’t heard of flash fiction and I can’t remember what introduced me to it now but I really like it. I’ve had an attempt at writing it and after manhandling my novel loved bashing something so small into shape. I’ve even entered a competition that Huntingdon Writers’ Group were running – but […]
I was fortunate enough to get to leave my desk for a week recently and thought I’d share my holiday reading with you so that you might get inspired to buy one, or more, of the following to take on your own holiday, or, as other options are available, to just to read if you’re not […]
