The Amazon kindle store has published my latest book, Sparks. Its contents include 36 pages of short stories in the genres of flash and micro fiction.
What can one say when writing flash fiction (1,000 words or fewer) or micro fiction (500 words or fewer)? Sparks presents a collection of short pieces in which several different themes are explored: relationships, the arts, nature, the seasons and travel. To add variety, pieces of non-fiction have also been included.
Flash and micro fiction has been written and read for many ages. Access to the internet has also enhanced our awareness of this genre through numerous online journals, devoted entirely to the style. Its brevity makes it easy to download flash fiction into your computer, tablet, electronic reader, or smart phone.

Reviews:
“Mary Mageau’s love of nature – in all its forms – is evident in this collection of fiction. Also evident is Mary’s joy in the arts and her fascination with and wonder of travel, in Australia and elsewhere. Dip into this book when you need to be inspired or to pass the time gently. She is an accomplished writer.”

Mary, I enjoyed reading your collection of short stories. My very favorites were: A Pearl of Great Price, Place of the Dead Homes, and Landscapes Remembered. All seven of them were the perfect length for reading at bedtime, so that I was able to read each story in one sitting. You’ve inspired me to keep writing short stories along side of other writing. Short stories are making a comeback via the internet. I can see why.

Wendy, Thank you for purchasing my book and leaving your very positive comment. I’m pleased that you enjoyed these stories. The short story is making a come back through the internet, as is the novella – as opposed to the very long novel. Keep writing your stories as they can be made into an attractive eBook that can be shared with others.
