The Curses & Cauldrons anthology from Blood Song Books – which features three of my “Drabbles” – is released today. It already has “bestseller” status, since it has topped the Amazon Australia chart for horror anthologies.

What is a Drabble, I hear you ask? A Drabble is a story told in exactly 100 words. I don’t normally indulge in micro-fiction,  but when asked to contribute to this witchy anthology by editor Zoey Xolton, I couldn’t resist the chance to explore some of my familiar themes in this challenging format.

My three Drabbles are entitled The Burning, Losing My Religion, and More Than She Bargained For. What are they about? Get a copy and find out.

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.
