Great to see my little post-apoc flash published in Apricot today. Thank you Lizzie for having me 🖤

‘My church is full of ghosts. They displaced the few ancient ones from Before, who’d lingered here...’

JP Relph’s moving flash fiction piece, ‘The Ministering of Souls’, follows a priest seeking hope and meaning in a new world.

Spent weekend in Derby for the Edge-Lit spec fic festival. Did some decent thrifting and spent loads of time with these absolute legends.
@MrLovelyday @MeanerHarker and @sjtownend (@BagBonesPress Ed)
I was inspired, invigorated, and laughed so much. Trash Family are the best 💜

[JP Relph @RelphJp]

As always, I was blown away by what writers can do with the most random sets of prompts. These thirteen flash were outstanding.

Thank you Jo Clark and @MrLovelyday for the second reading and help curating the issue.

Now, go read it 😀

I would never end a story like that. I'm embarrassed and sad that is what people will read.
Anyway, what's done is done and FFF have apologised for the error. My aim is to try and publish Fight, Flight elsewhere, so I can share it as it was meant to be ☺️

[JP Relph @RelphJp]

I was so pleased to be published by @FlashFicFest in their festival anthology volume eight. It's packed with stellar writers. I just want it to be known that my story has been printed incomplete. For anyone reading the book, my story is missing the final 100 words.

Now this here is a damn STORY. Cinematic, tense, funny, tragic. Go read. Its dust is on fire 🔥

“I socked him in the mouth at eighty percent, remembering the time he saved me in the creek, when I got tangled in the reeds.”

[Ian Johnson @10kandalatte]

Some dusty Americana from me, back in the brilliant @MISTERBULLBULL (thanks to equally brilliant @thedrevlow ). Early Springsteen meets Making a Murderer. Home is where the hurt is🐔

@MrAllanMiller Happy Belated 🎉
