"The Fast Fiction Challenge" - The Book

I'm delighted to announce that The Fast Fiction Challenge has now been collected in print and can be purchased through lulu.com.


Click on either graphic to be taken to lulu.com

This was the challenge I issued on my blog some time ago:
Reply with a title (maximum of four words)
about which you’d like me to write a fast
fiction of exactly 200 words, together with a
single word you want me to include in the text
of the tale.
Three hundred stories later, one hundred and eighty of the best tales are presented between covers for the first time.

Stories with titles like She Killed Me Twice, The Brain That Exploded, The Pachyderm Wore Pink and Single White Fee Male. And words like ranunculus, vaginate and carronade.

The Fast Fiction Challenge can be purchased at lulu.com for £6.50, or the equivalent in Euros or US Dollars.

You asked for it. You got it.

Enjoy.
