Flash Fiction is generally defined as fiction restricted to one thousand words or less. Telling an engaging, stand-alone story with so few words is both challenging and fun, but the biggest reward from my viewpoint is the quick turnaround. Writing a novel is like running a marathon. A flash fiction piece is a sprint, and afterwards you can savor the satisfaction of having told a good story. It’s also a great way to take a creative break in the process of writing a longer piece.
Hi Warren.
We just heard about your second career from Joe. Congratulations. I can’t wait to read your books – my favorite genre- though my usual reading is more by females like P.D James and Sue Grafton.
Sounds like you’ve returned to your roots; they are a powerful call.
And sounds as if you are happy. I hope so.

Kay, what a delight to hear from you! Yes, we love Oregon and the west coast. I hope you enjoy the books. I try to include a lot of northwest color in them.
Warmest regards to you, Phil, and Matthew
Warren
