Flash Fiction & Short Stories

The one black eye of the raven queen blinked for the first time in one hundred years. Down, down, flew the raven queen, guided by the grey flickering light of the highwayman’s soul and the bright wings of the forest’s fairies, who gazed upon his handsome face.

Stories In Ink

Every Picture has a background story. Some are based on folk tales, such as the Brothers Grimm, or the goblins of Dutch fairy tales whose female heroes dominate almost every adventure. Other works are based on real life stories from modern history, such as the story of Amy Johnson, the first woman to fly from Britain to Australia. A pioneer of early aviation, and sharing the sky with fellow flyers such as Amelia Earhart, Bessie Coleman and Jacqueline Cochran.
