I am very proud to be editor of the first publication from Escaped Ink Press, “Tall Tales and Short Stories Volume One” — it contains fifty stories by a range of authors. Some of the stories made me laugh, others made me cry and others still squirm with an ‘ick’. I wanted the first book to be a cross-genre publication to allow people to discover the joy and range of flash fiction and I think I succeeded!
