I’m so happy to announce that my flash fiction ‘She Picks Up The Cat’ has been published as part of The Fairlight Book of Short Stories Volume 1.

From flash fiction to mini-novelette, Fairlight presents The Fairlight Book of Short Stories (Volume 1), twenty-four short stories from some of the world’s most talented new and emerging English language writers. Chosen from work sent to Fairlight over several years by writers around the globe, this anthology celebrates the art of the short story form: a vehicle with the power to delight, entertain or instantly transport the reader to another state, another world, another emotion.

Twenty-four stories by twenty-four writers, including various award-winning short story authors, and Women’s Prize-longlisted author Sophie van Llewyn.

You can get your copy direct from Fairlight Books here.

Fairlight Books was founded in 2017 to publish and promote writers of highly original literary and quality fiction. Since its inception, its authors have been longlisted for the Women’s Prize for Fiction, the Republic of Consciousness Prize and the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction, and shortlisted for the Paul Torday Prize, the Diverse Book Awards and the BBC National Short Story Award.

My story was originally published by Fairlight Books on their website here.

She Picks Up The Cat will also feature in my upcoming collection In Their Absence.

Thank you to Fairlight Books, who were a delight to work with, for being such a champion of this story and my writing.
