Tangled Out There in the Web

“Bluffing” is intense, stellar flash fiction. It resists the temptation to get in its own way, and the emotional transport it provides is astonishing. Your craft is tight; your voice is endearing; your pacing is perfect, and your palpable imagery saturates every layer of this character-driven narrative. The ebb and flow of your restraint and revelation is organic, and your dialogue feels effortless. It’s all a pleasure to experience on the page. We can’t wait to share “Bluffing” with our readers around the world.”
