Featured Flash Fiction
I write a lot of flash fiction – most Fridays, in fact. Mine is always exactly 100 words long, and you can find much more of it in the archive, and you can download my free ebooks 100 Not Out and 200 Not Out. If you'd like to give it a try yourself, visit the site I also edit, Friday Flash Fiction.
