After a nice long run that started in 2014, Friday Flash Fiction, one of my favorite go-to publications, decided to call it a day at the end of 2025. As a sort of goodbye present to the readers and writers who have called it home over these last years, Gordon Lawrie, the editor and publisher, worked long hours into the late night to put together a hardcover anthology of the “Editor’s Choice” stories accumulated along the way. I was fortunate in that two of my stories are featured in this nice little book, Lisa’s Demise and Safer. Should you have any interest, or would just like to see if it might be worth the while, have a peek on Amazon where it’s available for purchase. Thanks a million to Gordon and all the wonderful FFF writers and readers.

Well said, Jim.
Never met Gordon but he seems a caring, lovely man. Brings out the inner child in me; he makes this old, gnarled three-legged dog feel safe.
All good things. God bless.

I’ve never met him either, Dave, but we’ve gone back and forth a number of times via email. And I enjoyed each and every one of our interactions. The last year or so my writing has lessened, and those stories which I have found time for have been longer efforts, so I didn’t contribute as much to FFF, and this having been the end, I sort of regret it. But it sounds like he had plenty of new fish in the sea, so all’s well. I hope he’s getting out on the links and taking Katherine to dinner now and again.
How’d you manage to hang on to three legs? 😉
Thanks for the note – great to hear from you!
Let’s hope 2026 finds something to uplift us.
Take care
Jim

Ghost of Christmas….
Movie pitch/idea? Lose the Christmas theme…
And It’s Kailani’s story. Everything is in place: a hero is coming to regain his sense of self/ and find his true love.
Still have the Santa character but reconfigure him like Robert Shaw in Jaws?!
An idea, Jim… while the dog takes you for a walk!
Lots of love
