Flare Fiction 1 is now available to purchase through the TScom Store and the Kindle Store.
Buy now to contribute to the Baby Fund!
Flare Fiction is sold on a pay-what-you-want basis, and emailed to your PayPal address once payment is received.
On January 2, 2012, it will become free to download, though donations will still be appreciated.
On December 12 I will be releasing my next short fiction collection, the first volume of a series I’m calling Flare Fiction.
Flare Fiction 1 is the first new product I’m releasing in support of the Diaper Fund.
There will be a pay-what-you-want preorder period, starting today, followed by a paid release period, during which Flare Fiction 1 will be made available on the Kindle Store, and then after that I will make Flare Fiction 1 a free (and pay-what-you-want) download.
Available preorder bonuses include the opportunity to supply a title for a custom 50-word story or a character name/concept for Special People, my new serial superhero web fiction project.
Flare Fiction 1 will be somewhat different from my previous two collections. Living and Dying and Feel-Good each include a selection of flash fiction, along with a couple of longer stories and a few poems.
Flare Fiction, however, is a flash fiction-only chapbook. It contains 10 stories, each under 500 words, for a total of about 2,500 words. I’ve decided to release my short stories and my flash fiction separately, moving forward. I realize this may seem to represent less value per release, but that’s the beauty of a “pay-what-you-want” system. If you paid $5 for Feel-Good, maybe Flare Fiction is only worth $2 to you, and that’s totally fine!
