NOTHING SHORT OF ODD<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Release date: JUNE 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s genre fiction, that’s for sure. What genre? Well, that’s a different question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing Short of Odd<\/strong> is a collection of short stories and flash fiction, an unlikely patchwork in which light and dark share the pages and what is everyday reality stands next to what is not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sixteen stories. Different themes. A potpourri of pieces that made their way out of the slush pile of unsolicited submissions and were selected for publication in literary webzines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book is dedicated to those who believed in these stories and gave them a chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
