Flashes of Scribomancy

Flashes of Scribomancy is a collection of short fiction exploring the strange, the speculative, and the quietly unsettling.Spanning multiple forms and styles, this volume brings together traditional short stories, flash fiction, scripts, and experimental pieces, including microfiction, poetry, and interactive narrative. The collection also covers a wide range of genres including comedy, tragedy, western, science fiction, and fantasy. Some stories lean toward the eerie or supernatural; others toward the literary or darkly humorous. Together, they examine moments where ordinary lives intersect with the unexpected-where a single choice, encounter, or misstep can alter everything that follows.The collection is organized into five sections-Short Stories, Scripts, Micro Fiction, Experiments, and Bonus-each offering a different approach to storytelling while maintaining a consistent focus on character, consequence, and atmosphere.Included in the final section is a fully illustrated naturalist-style field guide written from the perspective of Sheriff Tom Bracken, a Florida county sheriff in 1883, providing a unique connection to the world of Cypress Run, the author’s standalone mystery series.Flashes of Scribomancy will appeal to readers who enjoy literary short fiction with elements of the uncanny, varied narrative forms, and stories that balance structure with experimentation.
