Flash!

Today is National Flash Fiction Day – a celebration of short fiction. Which is rather splendid, I reckon.

There are a thousand and one ways it’s being celebrated (check out the site), but here’s what I’ve done for it.

There’s a very short story of mine which originally appeared at Metazen and then in Not So Perfect, up at the brilliant Thresholds site. It’s called Pacifier and it’s about arguing and sex.

And here’s me reading My Wife Threw Up a Lemur, also from Not So Perfect.

And as though that wasn’t enough, here’s me reading one of the stories from Freaks!. And nope, I can’t tell you if it’s mine or not. Us superheroes need to keep our identities secret, don’t you know.

Happy Flash Day, one and all!
