Just a short announcement: I’m delighted to report that Echo Room is featured on Free Flash Fiction. If you’ve not visited Free Flash Fiction, you really are missing a trick! There are hundreds of excellent short fiction pieces, so grab your favourite brew and lose yourself for an hour.
Here’s an excerpt from the opening of Echo Room:
The first time I heard it, I was unpacking books. A child’s laughter—bright and sudden—followed by a woman’s voice: “Dinner in five, Jamie.” My hand stilled mid-air, the weight of an unplaced hardback suspended between box and shelf. The apartment remained silent, as though waiting for my reaction.
The unsettling artwork, created by the wonderful Caroline Grimshaw, perfectly captures the mood of the story.
