WRITERS' FORUM FLASH FICTION COMPETITION

WRITERS' FORUM started running a new Flash Fiction Competition last month, and I'm pleased as punch that my story, My Own Children, was one of two runners-up, and is in the latest edition.

The Editor, Carl, commented: 'This is a very well crafted and moving story with wonderful images and rhythm, using deliberately repetitive phrasing to describe what Rory is. This builds a sense of momentum towards its sad revelation; that Rory isn't anything.'
