Flashes of Illumination
Nancy Jane Moore wrote her first flash fiction many years ago when everyone in her writing group decided to enter a contest for one-page stories. None of them won, but she got hooked and has been writing short-shorts ever since.
Her first project for Book View Café was posting a free flash fiction every week for a year. Some were reprints, others older stories that needed one more revision, but quite a few were written in the week they went up. This 52-story collection includes most of those stories and a few new ones as well.

Review of giveaway eBook
A collection of 52 flash fiction, short stories. I had not come across this concept before. What a treat. The collection covers multiple genres with varying success. Some stories fell a little flat but with such short pieces you can turn a page, dip in and out, and discover a new and delightful diversion. Overall I found this book very entertaining and would recommend it to readers of all tastes

It's flash fiction. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy flash fiction...I even write flash sometimes...but these stories just do not speak to me. The writing isn't bad, it's just not my thing.
