Tripping the Flash Fantastic – This is my second collection of flash fiction stories.  I discovered flash fiction thanks to a Cafélit challenge and has been hooked on the form ever since. In this follow-up to her “From Light to Dark and Back Again”, I take you back in time, into some truly criminal minds, into fantasy worlds, and show you how motherhood looks from the viewpoint of a dragon. Enjoy the journey!

From Light to Dark and Back Again – my first volume of flash fiction stories published by Chapeltown Books. The link takes you to Amazon for the paperback but the book is also available for Kindle.

To Be…To Become an ebook anthlogy published by Bridge House Publishing in 2018.  This book has the 16 winning entries to the Waterloo Arts Festival’s first writing competition and I was very pleased to be amongst these.

This is the first solely ebook compilation I’ve had work in – cover photo from Bridge House Publishing.

Also Transforming Being ebook anthology published by Bridge House Publishing in 2019. My story The Professional was one of the 15 winning entries for the Waterloo Arts Festival’s writing competition.  It was a great joy to read an extract from the story at the Festival too. I wasn’t able to go last year!

Bridge House Publishing – Alternative Renditions and Baubles anthologies.  Alternative Renditions is a collection of fairytales written from the viewpoint of other characters in the fairytales. For example, my story A Helping Hand retells the Cinderella story from the viewpoint of the youngest “ugly” stepsister. Great fun to write and this story is very special as it is my first publication credit! Alternative Renditions is only available in paperback but Baubles is available in Kindle too.
