I read the first 4 tales this weekend and I’m now trying not to finish it too quickly. Excellent so far.

30 days left until our #FlashMonster soft deadline. #flashfiction #writingcontest

We like literary approaches, but dig genre and pulpy takes as well. Art house or grindhouse. Subvert the usual monster tropes or create something nobody’s ever seen before.

Reflecting on the making of "Born to Run," in 2009, Bruce told James Henke, β€œThe sound I heard in my head was not one that was physically reproducible.” Undeterred, he took six months to record the title track β€” and guided Clarence Clemons’ iconic solo on β€œJungleland,” singing it phrase by phrase.

Sophie can't make this Thursday's gig at Neeld Community and Arts Centre, so I'll be playing solo - a shame, but it means I can throw out the usual setlist and play whatever the hell I want!

The Neeld Foyer is a fantastic venue and I'm really looking forward to it.
