Bird Wing: (A Flash Fiction Collection)

By Dreena Collins

"The night you left us, I stayed awake until the sky woke up. The light through the curtains was a fresh bruise, stirring from black, to blue, to grey..."

From the author of 'The Blue Hour' and 'The Day I Nearly Drowned', 'Bird Wing (and other stories)' is a powerful flash fiction collection exploring love, loss - and revenge.

A young woman struggles to read; an elderly man stares at the sky and contemplates loss; a niece plots murder on the bus. Often tender, sometimes uplifting, and always relatable - these tales explore the emotions and challenges that ordinary people strive to overcome.

Bird Wing contains stories shortlisted and long-listed in competitions, including Flash 500 and Fish Publications.

"A richly intimate and heartfelt assortment of short stories from an insightful and talented writer." - Gregory Williams
