FLASH FIRE » stories, like the Story Fire collection, are filled with adventure, humor, romance, and suspense. But these stories can be read in ten minutes... or less. Not because you're in a hurry, but because less is more when the drama is sharp, hard-hitting, and unforgettable. No back story, time shifts or passive voice. You'll see and hear everything through the main character's eyes, ears and thoughts.
