  <default-description>&quot;I Call This Flirting is a collection of fever-dreams, haunted by desire, grief, sex, and memory. These are late-night stories, told after midnight, a femme fatale whispering sad and unraveled and lusty tales into your ear. That femme fatale is Sherrie Flick, and she&#8217;s a wickedly good writer.&quot;

&#8211; John McNally, author of The Book of Ralph

    <body><![CDATA[This collection ends with three words: pure, sweet, uncluttered. These adjectives describe the possibility of happiness, but they also describe the author's writing style. <br/><br/>The women in <em>I Call This Flirting</em> are vivid and intense. The men are enigmatic though very closely observed. Cats fi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/14026441">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Although it goes by different names depending on whom you ask, the literary term that I prefer for very short stories is flash fiction. Flash fiction stories are generally between 50-500 words and cover all territories that full-length short stories tackle. In other words, they are perfect brief jou...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/13170335">more...</a>]]></body>
