Quick Fiction has come to an end, sadly, and the editors are currently closing out their remaining issues for $4.00 each with free shipping. I just got my stack of issues in the mail. (And I have a story in numbers 17 and 18!!) 

Above is a story called FLOWER by DIANE WILLIAMS from Issue 10. It’s one of my favorite “short shorts” or “flash fictions” or “short pieces” or “whisper tales” or “zip zingers” or whatever they might be called.  

Quick Fiction #18 came in the mail after a long wait! It’s the unofficial Iowa City issue with at least three Iowa Citians inside its pages: Me, Dylan Nice, and Rachel Yoder. The story I have in it is called Neighbors and I wrote it after reading Carl Sagan’s Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors which has a few paragraphs on caterpillar behavior which I decided to adapt to humans. Kind of a nice story. 

Visit the web site to order a copy, or to check out Dylan Nice’s story There’s Bugs or my story from the previous issue.
