About the author

Aiki lives in Brisbane, Australia, with her husband, (Ernest), teenage son (Leonidis - not their real names, obviously), aging dog and directionally-challenged fish.
In between being a wife, running a business full-time and helping Leonidis with homework, she squeezes in a few hobbies, including:
Martial arts, painting, writing, reading, bellydancing and playing three or four musical instruments. Occasionally she even sleeps. Very occasionally.

Reviews

[Jemma · Rating 5 out of 5]

What Aiki Flinthart can do in such a small number of words is phenomenal. So many stories to love in this collection. The writing is so evocative and the characters stay with you long after you finish the book. I think my favourite story in the collection is "Four Hours of Instability." Could totally see it as a full-length novel! If you love short form sci fi and fantasy then you'll love this collection.
