It has been a good start to the year for flash fiction.
Over at PBF I have two wonderful stories so far this month. First up, Ed Lynskey offers up a wonderful Frank Johnson treat called The Last Stakeout. Frank Johnson is one of the best PI characters around and Ed will have a new book out in June.
Robert Aquino Dollesin in Personal Business offers us a way to solve a problem. You will have to read it to find out.
Coming soon a new flash fiction challenge: Shifting Gears will be the title of the next challenge being organized by Patti Abbott, Gerald So and myself. All stories will have a common line in it. Patti and Gerald will annouce the format shortly.
I'm getting ready to looking into podcasting some of these stories in the near future.
