When I fell in love with flash fiction, seduced by the six-word story attributed to Hemingway: “For sale: baby, shoes, never worn,” I never dreamed flash would love me back. Here’s what makes flash FLASH Flashes deliver endings that twist or transform, leaving readers haunted by the story’s afterimages.  They’re short, forcing the writer to toss wasted words.

The Workplace Sleuth Series

Against the raw, untamed beauty of an Alaska few ever see beyond a cruise ship deck, Human Resources sleuth Jess Cassidy tackles the experiences every woman encounters at some point in her life—grief that knocks her to her knees; fears that paralyze risk-taking; betrayal that cuts deep; and the need to summon courage when it matters most.
