They whittled down hundreds of submissions to six shortlisted entries, one of which was a story entitled Reconstructing Amber, by Dan Purdue, a friend whose excellent work I have previously featured here.
I wrote my very first Flash Fiction story under Dan’s patient tutelage so, clearly, I’m biased, but having read all six, I believe that Reconstructing Amber is the best.

Hi Richard, many thanks for the mention! I've only read the anthology recently, as plenty of real life managed to get in the way after the prize-giving evening where the printed copies were handed out. Although I couldn't possibly comment on your assessment of the stories I will say that I really enjoyed reading them all and it was good to see the range of styles and subjects covered by the six of us. It's reassuring to find the judges didn't seem to favour a particular 'type' or story, which has hopefully produced an anthology with something for everyone.
ReplyDeleteI hope all's well with you. Thanks again!
