    About this ebook

    Flashpacks are collections of five flash fiction stories. In Zombie-Eyed Girls and other stories, there's a zombie thread through all these pieces. The five stories here are, "Heading for Boise", "To Hold Her One Last Time", "Bergamot Silhouetted", "Unbuild the Bridge" and "Zombie-Eyed Girl” - A girl with scarily alluring eyes; a man looking for his lost love; a creature that won't give up; an infested spaceship and; a family hoping for redemption. These stories, all published individually in online magazines - except for "Unbuild the Bridge", a new story for this anthology - are gathered together here for the first time.

    "Amazing how much story and complex emotion you were able to achieve in less than 666 words, and with such graceful writing. Bravo!" - Sally York on "Heading for Boise".

    "I love the steady progression of obsession" - Angel Zapata on "Zombie-Eyed Girl".

    "A most enjoyable tale!" - Bob Eccles on "To Hold Her One Last Time".
