I recently had three “Drabbles” – micro-fiction tales of exactly 100 words – accepted for Blood Song Books’s Curses & Cauldrons anthology, edited by Zoey Xolton. My three witch related tales are entitled The Burning, Losing My Religion, and More Than She Bargained For.

Quite honestly I found writing Drabbles a fiendishly difficult challenge. Sticking to exactly one hundred words is horribly tricky, and a discipline in making every word count. I am much more comfortable working in short stories or novels, but nonetheless it was a very interesting writing experiment.

My three tiny tales are very much in keeping with themes and sensibilities inherent in much of my longer fiction, but to find out more about exactly what I’ve written, you’ll have to order a copy of the anthology.
