July 1st and some exiting competition news to announce – I have just heard that I have been longlisted for REFLEX FICTION’S international summer 2021 flash fiction competition.

Out of 521 entries, 48 have been longlisted and all will be published on REFLEX FICTION’S website – one every day between 23rd August and 30th September – and included in a print anthology to be published next summer.

The requirements for this particular flash fiction story was to write on any theme or subject at a length of between 180 and 360 words.

My story – which takes advantage of the maximum word length – is called GOING.

It’s a while since I’ve written much flash fiction, but it’s an excellent discipline and I am delighted to have made the longlist of this prestigious competition!
