Yippee!

To borrow from Sandra Seamans, I'm doing my own Snoopy Dance as today is my debut publication of a piece of flash fiction: "A Stash of Goods" appearing at David Cranmer's Beat to a Pulp. Here's the link:

    Really exciting story, Barbara! I like the details like the clean entrance and absence of sounds in the build up.

    Raph, setting the scene is important.

    Teresa, thanks, and anything is possible: even were-horses!

    Patti, noirs are supposed to have surprise endings.

    Barbara!

    Brava! Bravo!

    Fantastico!

    Chilling and spooky, and the Hero has already left my lap.

    Tonight, I don't want silence.

    Great tale!

    Nice work, Barbara. I laud those who can write fiction. Writing my memoir was easy - no creativity at all!

    Reya, Barrie, Chris, Jenn, Carter and Michele: thanks very much for your kind comments. Here I've been sitting on this manuscript far too long, concerned it wasn't good enough. Well, now I'm shopping for a home for the manuscript it belongs to.
