SHORT CIRCUIT VISITS THE SHORT REVIEW BLOG


See - it gets everywhere. My batty writer says...

The next stop on my bloggy tour is with The Short Review blog. Editor Tania Hershman has a great essay in the book - actually, an essay that had one writer (an editor as well) messaging me this week to say it had completely changed her view of flash fiction, and above all, the flash writing process.)
Tania asked me a very good question - would readers, as opposed to writers, find Short Circuit an interesting book? Would it make them read more short stories??? Get thee over there to find out what I said.

And visit The Short Review too! I reviewed a book called The Town of Fiction, by The Atlantis Collective. And there are some terrific collections up this month - so much to read, so little time!

I HATE that book...

I HATE Short Circuit. It is a snooty, horrible piece of work if you ask me. Well, OK, no one did ask me but I'm saying it anyway.

Its only been around for six weeks, and today, O dreadful day - my batty writer looked at the Amazon statistics for Salt Publishing, and Short Circuit is at NUMBER TWO!!! Out of hundreds of books.

Well. Someone must be mad, that's all I can say. BUY ME!!! I am MUCH better than him!

(I was at Number Three, which isnt baaaaad. But still. Id like to ovetrtake him. Must be a bloke, dont you think?)
