L less than M

Zusatztext

A collection of fifty stories, each less than one thousand words. When translated into Roman numerals, this gives L < M. Over thirty of these stories have already appeared in worldwide online literary journals. The remainder are published for the first time in this collection. Stories written in less than one thousand words are frequently referred to as Flash Fiction.

Autorenportrait

Michael Smith is a regular contributor to short fiction journals, and his work has appeared in Fabula Argentea, Witcraft, Literally Stories, Heimat Review, The Hooghly Review, Little Old Lady Comedy, and many other online literary journals. The starting point came when I read Austin Kleon's inspirational book 'Steal Like An Artist'. Kleon wrote, "When I was asked to talk to students at a community college in upstate New York in 2011, I sat down and wrote a talk based on a list of 10 things I wished I'd heard when I was starting out." Number 3 on that list of ten things is "Write the book you want to read." And that's what I've been doing ever since. After privately sharing a few stories, family and friends began encouraging me to publish.
