    I have loved writing for as long as I can remember.

    My story ‘Lilies’ was published in Atlantis Short Story Contest’s anthology in October 2018. Without giving a spoiler, ‘Lilies’ is about a young woman who is drawn to perform dark acts in order to assimilate the loss of a dysfunctional relationship.

    Another two of my short stories are published in Didcot Writers’ anthologies – ‘The Bright Side’ is available to read in ‘The Most Normal Town in England’ and is about a dystopian English town run by a twisted psychiatrist. Published in ‘Compositions’, ‘Facing The Music’ is an exploration of the relationship between an inmate and someone who should by all accounts hate him. I am also excited to have stories published with Black Hare Press and in conjunction with the On Loss Anthology project.

    Check out my author website where you can read many of my short stories for free (including Lilies), writing blog, plus links to my beta reading / critique and health writer services.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A real box of chocolates - so many stories you're bound to find some you'll like
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 January 2019

    This is a collection of short stories chosen from entrants to the excellent Atlantis Short Story Competition - one of the very few competitions that takes the time to provide detailed author feedback. The book is divided into three sections.
    The first is for the stories. They come thick and fast - there're definitely a lot of dysfunctional families, not to mention people with very serious world-view issues. The fiction is peppered heartfelt true stories, creating a weird and effective counterbalance between the imagined and the experienced.

    There are so many stories it feels a bit like swiping right and left with literature. Like a story, keep reading. Don't like it? Swipe left - there's another just a thousand words a way. With such variety in style and story, you'll find plenty to keep you interested.

    The second section gets a bit weird. Here we have some stories with pictures. Most of them didn't work for me personally, but I did enjoy the left turn at the traffic lights: it enhances the feeling of variety and choice in the collection. Finally (after a really creepy story about bones), there is a section describing resources and other places you can go to find stories, support and even radio plays.

    What this book radiates is a love of writing and a love of writers. If you're interested in reading something new, in dipping in and out of a huge collection of stories, and even getting some useful info at the end, this collection if for you.

    I don't normally read short stories, but I must say I enjoyed all the stories in this anthology which made a pleasant change from reading a novel. My personal favourite was 'Lilies' by Alice Lam, a gripping story which I highly recommend!

    Reviewed in Canada on 4 February 2019

    This is a collection of about 30 short stories, each written by a different writer, each having something interesting to tell. All the stories are written with the intensity of a person who wants to share her (mostly) thoughts, feelings and in some intances true(?) story. Most authors are quite proficient in doing it, so it is an enjoyable read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sort of Like a Word Tour
    Reviewed in the United States on 8 December 2020

    Each story has its own style and that kept me interested to read the next story. I liked that the authors were from different parts of the world and that also made the stories interesting. Most of the authors are from Australia and so I felt I learned a bit about their homeland, too. All-in-all the judges picked winners. Enjoy.
