UNUSUAL DICTION: VOLUME 1

A knight regrets her rescue of a gilded prince. A cat unearths a hand in the garden. A vampire plots her rise to power. Quests and furious revenge, beauty, and horror, immerse yourself in character-driven stories as they fight and dream and fly.

Unusual Diction: Volume One is a collection of 100-word flash fiction tales from a variety of genres, including fantasy, steampunk, science fiction, and horror.

Here’s an excerpt from Twice-Born, one of the stories included in the collection:

“All the twice-born girls were shackled at their first blood. Silvery iron, so thin it could have been mere spiderweb, linked every girl to a watcher. Beauty came with first birth, but the power, able to destroy man and worlds, unravel even time, came with the second. It was for this, that the watchers were bound to the earth-breakers.”

Unusual Diction: Volume One is available as an ebook download through my website or through Amazon (paperback and ebook options are available).
