A Satisfying Story in Minimal Words
Posted by Literary Titan

Robinson, IL and Other Flash Fiction Stories is a collection of imaginative stories with intriguing commentary on society. What inspires you to write flash fiction?
I think my interest in flash fiction comes from the “tweet” and Facebook posting. Most posts are stories with tone a beginning, a middle and an end. With all the devices we have on hand and all the platforms we have the come with devices, there is a challenge to telling a satisfying story in minimal words.
Did you write these stories specifically for this collection or did you write them over time?
I had no intention of creating a collection. These stories were written to stand alone between 2012 and 2019.
My favorite story from the collection is ‘Eighty-Five Days’. Do you have a favorite story from this collection?
I love “Have a Cookie”. This is exactly how the majority of people from my hometown think.
What is the next book that you are working on and when will it be available?
I’m currently working on a play (for the last five years) called Doris Tate. The play got it’s second workshop last February 2021 with actors over Zoom. Doris Tate was the mother of actress Sharon Tate best known for Valley of the Dolls. When you see someone giving a crime victims impact statement on TV or in a film, that is the work of Doris Tate. After the Manson family murdered her daughter, Doris Tate went from grief to grit and became one of America’s most effective crime victim’s advocates.
