T. R. Neff, "Torrie" to her friends. She refuses to be pigeonholed as a writer, and prefers the following genres: Post-Apocalyptic Mysteries Black-Humored, Roman-flavored and/or Eschatological Fantasy Psychodramatic, Atavistic Horror (the more Lovecraftian / Barkerish, the better) In other words, whatever the hell she feels like writing. She loves Jesus/God/Holy Spirit, her parents and grandparents, peeps (the baby birds and her friends), opals (black, fire, milky!), MMA fighting, guns, Mustangs (all three kinds), her US Navy and shipmates, goats, rhinos (animal themes here, hm...), etc. Contrary to popular belief (and outrageous* rumors), she's been VERY female all of her life and intends to keep it that way.

"Morsels" is pretty much what the title suggests: a tasty little selection of flash fiction tales you can gobble up in one sitting. There are dark, twisted stories here counterbalanced by lighter ones (or at least lighter resolutions), along with surprise endings and a few chuckles. Some stories feel a bit rushed, but not too seriously. Overall, it's a fun little collection.
Morsels lives up to its name with bite-sized stories that offer a variety of flavors. The writing keeps you interested, but a few of the tales left me wanting a bit more. It’s a decent read for flash fiction fans, though not every story hit the mark for me.
