Best of Every Day Fiction 2008 (2008)
Flash fiction is generally recognized as being fiction under a thousand words - the perfect length for a coffee break - but despite its appeal as a quick read, it is not simplistic. Quite the opposite; it can and should be one of the most demanding literary forms, with a need for perfectly crafted prose, a complete story arc in a tight space, and an immediately engaging hook.

The Best of Every Day Fiction 2008 brings together one hundred flash fiction pieces selected from Every Day Fiction's first year of publication. These stories cross boundaries of genre and geography, with tastes of science fiction, humour, romance, fantasy, horror, and surrealism alongside the more traditional literary pieces, from authors writing in Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Finland, India, Israel, Nigeria, the United Kingdom and the United States.

The Souldrinker and The Legacy of Captain Jareena (2008)
Two dark tales of heroism and horror set in the Pankea universe. "The Souldrinker" is an exerpt chapter of The Silverblade Prophecy podiobook, but also stands on its own as a complete story. "The Legacy of Captain Jareena" is a never-before-published bonus story that connects to the events in the podiobook.


The Souldrinker: Arnelda, Korgash, and Roland get hired to seek out and eliminate a virgin-sacrificing cult, but what they discover is an ancient evil long thought destroyed centuries ago.

"The characters have distinct personalities, the language engages, and there is enough mayhem to keep things interesting." - Nicole McClain, Tangent Online*

The Legacy of Captain Jareena: After a botched raid, Captain Jareena is determined to locate her missing ships and learn the fate of their crews. Her quest forces her to face both dark halves of her mixed bloodline.

* "The Souldrinker" was first published in Issue 19 of The Sword Review, October 2006

INCITE: Compassion
We all know the story... After a time of careless living the prodigal son returns to the home of a loving father who awaits him with open arms.

Just as this father welcomed his son, at the heart of God's plan of redemption is a father's heart of compassion. Who, regardless of your history, waits for you with open arms.

Link 2 us and be inspired.
