This @PressParrot collection of Western Australian writers made it all the way to (rainy?!) California. Thank you @GillOshaughness for sending! Had to take the pic with my lemon tree in honor of the icing in your marvelous story.🍋

There are 22 sleeps until my story Starfish comes out in @JellyfishReview and this is fair warning that I am very excited and will quite probably be UNBEARABLE

Susan Midalia’s new book Miniatures is GLORIOUS! 174 tiny stories on grief, family, the value of reading, why leaf blower’s should get in the bin. & everyone will want to write to the PM after reading Susan’s letter. A masterful book. #flashfiction @SusanMidalia @PressParrot

We are more than a wee bit excited to announce the upcoming release of Susan Midalia’s provocative new book, Miniatures. Susan turned to flash and microfiction as a way of rekindling her creativity and challenging her writing practice after the publication of her second novel.

So I wrote a 100 word story inspired by the cover of @mperegrineb book #WhereTheLineBreaks designed by @NadaBackovic & Michael wrote a haiku inspired by my story & now I feel I need to come up with a 6 word story inspired by his haiku. Or something. ❤️
