‘The Names Of Stars’ won the Retreat West themed flash competition, Dec 2018
Click link to read 'The names of stars'
“The unexpectedness of what happens when the narrator hides in the loft during a family Christmas gathering is excellent. Love how the star signifies the distance the narrator really wants to run from her situation. And that the ending poses as many questions as it answers. Beautiful use of language too, a really light touch on a dark subject. Great stuff.”
