It’s not quite the Gummi Bears, but it certainly bounces around a lot.

Jozi Flash 2017 combines the talents of ten brilliant authors with one gifted artist, to bring you a collection of 80 flash fiction stories across eight different genres.

From a children’s story about the folly of summoning dragons, to the horrors held in deliciously treacherous ice cream, the authors take you on journeys that weave fantasy and folklore together alongside practical detectives and everyday tragedy.

With stunning artwork prompts by Nico Venter, these South African authors have created an anthology that will leave you breathless.

What kind of blog would this be if I didn’t try to share my own work, right?

Dive into a myriad of worlds conjured up by wonderful minds—all of whom I now call friends—in the 2017 instalment of the Jozi Flash anthology!

I was extremely grateful to be included in the 2017 Jozi Flash anthology, originally published by a Johannesburg-local independent publisher: Chasing Dreams Publishing.

This was my first foray into publishing and getting my own works out there. It was a brilliant initiative that aimed to help emerging writers get their writings published, and I was drawn to it like a moth to a flame. So much so, that I even did a little editing on it!

The anthology contains a collection of flash fiction stories written by various writers from Johannesburg, South Africa (where I am originally from, in case you’re wondering), all based on provided prompts and images, and with word count and genre restrictions thrown in the mix.

It’s a lot of fun to read and is very close to my heart. So here is a pdf version to download, for free!

More on Jozi Flash in the near future!
