Yellow Mama

My flash about Kate Webster, the last woman hanged at Wandsworth, is published in the latest issue of Yellow Mama. This is one of a handful of historical crime flashes I've written. If you're interested in how (or why) I like writing this sort flash, there's a blog about it here.

very well written. I am amazed how much story and how clear a picture has been created with so few words

Absolutely gorgeous. My favorite bit:

Through the thick weave of her fingers, the flame watches her wait.

Congrats on another strong piece.

Thank you, Sonia, for reading and commenting so positively, and for dropping by. I love your blog - the picture of the trees looks beautifully shady in this hot weather.

Hi, V, and thanks. Yes the new place is lovely, a real 'new chapter' and very exciting. You must be off to Bantry any day now - have fun and say hi to the gang from me.
