Red Tulip is the first volume in a series called Romantic Flashes. Each story was originally a flash fiction piece. Flash fiction are episodic stories inspired by prompts. The prompt could be a word - night sky, or a phrase - until the twelfth of never, or a photo - a picture of a red tulip. The challenge for each episode was based around A - the continuance of the story and B - the inclusion of the prompts. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous book, The Hounds of he Baskervilles, was originally published as a weekly episodic novel. My Romantic Flashes is the same idea all bundled into one book.
