New Vlog: The Gift

Now that ‘The Gift’ is live on Smashwords, I thought I would I record a vlog of me reading the flash fiction story. If you do not know what ‘The Gift’ is, then it is a thousand word story I wrote as part of the Advent Story Train 2022 created by Ari Meghlen. In the Story Trian, twenty four authors were chosen and given the prompt ‘the gift.’ They then needed to write a flash fiction story and post it on a given day in advent 2022. I decided to write a story set in the late sixteen hundreds about a reclusive man who finds a injured dog. He takes the dog in and nurses him better. But was this the right thing to do? Why not listen to me reading the story to find out? You can either watch it below, or head over to my YouTube channel where there are plenty more videos of me reading my short stories, poems and sections of books I have written. As usual, please feel free to comment on the story, both positive and constructive criticism is most welcome. Thank you, and have a nice day!
