I have three stories in the August issue of Take A Break’s Fiction Feast (out now). There’s Ice Cold Revenge, mentioned in my last post, plus On The Bench which is a slightly spooky gardening story and Midsummer Madness which is a relationship tale.

Quite often editor’s will change the titles of stories published. That might be to suit the layout, or because another story uses something similar, or they just prefer something different. I’m always pleased when mine are kept and that is the case with two of these, and just one word has been removed from the other one. I’ll be reusing On The Garden Bench for what will be my sixth collection of garden related short stories, following on from the most recent in that series, Beyond The Garden Wall. This particular story was actually inspired by a list I made of possible book titles. An odd way of going about things perhaps, but clearly on the occasion it worked.
