When books did make a difference.

Janet and John

*Americans knew them as Alice and Jerry who sound far more exciting.

Welcome and thanks for dropping in. I'll pop by yours by and by.

This blog was inspired by First 50 words where you freewrite from a single word prompt. I use random words or images to create flash fiction in formats ranging from twitter postcards to short short stories.
