Well I leapt out of my comfort zone to read aloud (1st time!) during a Flash Fiction evening in Bath at the weekend. I shared my story 'Bloody Mildred' which was SL and published last year. A lovely evening with such talented writers. Thank you @judehwriter2.bsky.social for the invite 😊

Jude Higgins @judehwriter2.bsky.social · 11d

Thanks so much to everyone who came to read flash fiction at St James Wine Vaults Bath. Many of the wonderful stories read were published in different @bathflashaward.bsky.social anthologies & @flashficfestuk.bsky.social anthologies
