Another pieced-together piece, and only 245 words, but best I can manage.
Bourbon dreaming
A bottle of Makers Mark from my husband for Christmas and a wine-free tea (Köstritzer Schwarzbier instead) so I took a glass of bourbon to bed with me, along with John Rebus.
And I dreamt, more vividly and memorably than usual, with more logic than usual…[Read more]

In the place and time I found myself, I had done something wrong.
My punishment? A chain of large metal links, secured around my throat, pressing against my flesh, reminding me of its presence every time I swallowed or turned my head.
A man, with whom I had a connection – were we related? Was he the reason for my wrongdoing? – received the sam…[Read more]

Found out today that Super Stories has been longlisted (1 of 8) in the Lunchtime Book Club, a new children’s book prize based in Luton! SO chuffed.
(Also in some amazing company – Frank Cotterell-Boyce; Lauren St Child; Marcus Rashford as well as others I’m not so familiar with)

That is truly awesome @squidge! Very chuffed and happy for you. Congrats 🥳🥳

Just sneaking in to say that if anyone is loitering around Birmingham with nothing to do on Saturday 25th Sept, we’re holding a launch for my book at FantasyCon.

Late to this, but well done indeed @Knicky, for a poetic tale. Also to @Athelstone – I too had a lane like that in the place where I was born, which decades later had its magic buried beneath tarmac.
Thanks @Seagreen for the challenge and the feedback – I did enjoy the opportunity to just play. -
Squidge started the topic Short story accepted in the forum Podium 4 years, 7 months ago
Found out yesterday I’ve had a short story – Moonlight and Roses – accepted for a Dark & Light themed anthology by Ruler’s Wit (a group of writers and editors who met at Lufbra Uni on a creative writing Masters).
Funnily enough, it started out as a piece that didn’t work at all in my writing group NIBS, but for some reason it worked for…[Read more]
