Bare Books Flash Fiction Anthology
Fifty-six different flash fiction stories means fifty-six different bite sized treats. All brand new original chunks of creativity from eight different independent authors, any of which could become your new favourite.
Based on sixteen different writing prompts, you could be amazed, amused, inspired, or afraid at the turn of a page. Flash Fiction is ideal for the waning attention span that still insists on the full story, ‘less is more,’ as they say. The shortest story could reveal the largest truth or the biggest emotion.
This anthology is a passion project, a natural progression from the Bare Books podcast. Dedicated to giving independent authors a free platform to talk about, and share, their writing, and raise their profile for readers old and new. The obvious next step was to take the wonderful stories we read to our listeners on the podcast, plus a sprinkling of extra stories you won’t have heard, and publish them in this anthology. We are hoping to do a little good in the world so we will donate all profits from sales of this book to charity. Our charity of choice is the Book Trust UK [Getting children reading].

If A Book Was A Box Of Chocolates This Would Be It
Short sweet stories to sink your teeth into. 56 of them to be exact written by various indie authors who got together over a podcast. It appears they were each given a word prompt and asked to write a short story based on them. And there are some cracking imaginative ones. Such as person who hid under a bed and when they came out from underneath it, it was gone. Or the wife who had been abused by her husband and while he was away she renovated the garden. But is the husband really away? Or the young couple who have been dating for 6 months and overheard her boyfriend saying he’s going to take her away on a dirty weekend. However it’s not what she has in mind. I thoroughly enjoyed reading them all and look forward to the next anthology.

I’ve read book 2 but it’s not showing on here but it’s a great selection of stories and I’m lucky to know quite a few of the authors I’ve met at a book group meet locally
