Most of my efforts were focussed on novels but between the books, or at times when ideas were maturing, I penned a number of short stories and quite a few drabbles (stories which are exactly 100 words long). Dark Tales and Flash Fun is a collection of these bits and pieces. There\u2019s no connecting theme other than each work is designed to be entertaining, frightening or intriguing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FPNormal\" style=\"text-indent: 0in;\">In part,I wanted to create an easy way for people to find out a bit about me and my writing without having to dive straight into the trilogy. I also wanted to gather together &nbsp;a lot of the various bits of my work in one place. If nothing else, that allowed me to tidy up my computer files&#8230; now I just need to sort out all the ideas I have in notebooks and on scraps of paper.<\/p>\n<p class=\"FPNormal\" style=\"text-indent: 0in;\">I hope some of you get the chance to check out the book.
