Another way to get them
I have added a link to the RSS feed for my short stories, just in case you feel a pressing need to read them the very second that they are added.

More new stuff
Two new drafts added, one of which is this month's AFO entry. There was a list of mandatory words to use, one of which was cranberry, which may account for some of the odd parts.

What he should have said...
"One day my son, 67% of this will be yours after deduction of tax and duty."

Not going to win
I entered the AFO short story competition this month with this odd tale. I intend to enter every month from now on, so there should be more regular posts here.

Cynic alert
"Someone has to dream, to aspire, to write a vision of a utopian future. After all, without a promise of a better life to come what would stop the people rebelling against the oppression of today? That is the purpose that you writers serve, and why we tolerate you."

Please do not think I'm being serious
The idea for Think of the Children; Sleep with your Sister dropped into my head while I was working on something longer. It is safe for work, provided you don't work in a church, monastery or convent.

"Well, I learnt to juggle. I thought it would give me some stress relief and a bit of hand eye coordination."
"Well, what did it give you?"
"The ability to throw and catch three balls with two hands. Oh, and stress about dropping one."
It seems that the book is now available on Amazon.co.uk. No sign of it on the US site yet.

And one more thing...
"Eating brains is supposed to make you smarter. In one way this is true; it makes you smart enough not to try and eat brains again."

New look, new content
Hi and welcome to the new look fiction index. As my first book has now been published I decided I should make a fancy interactive page where clicking on things would have exciting consequences. Then I got bored and settled for making some boxes with round corners. Mostly this is just advertising to persuade you to buy my book but any new short stories I write will end up here too.

My editor is great and I highly recommend her. You can contact her at raesproofreading at yahoo dot com.
I like feedback! You can leave comments here.
My only language apart from English is Spa. I haven't figured out how the second half goes yet but I live in hope. If you know how people communicate in far off lands (or even Wales) and fancy engaging in the tedious task of translation for undetermined reward send me an e-mail at translators at revis.org.
