My latest flash fiction piece, Safeguarding Quiz, is out in The Neglected Ratio this month. In my post on March 21, I mentioned that my fiction had taken a bit of a back seat lately because of my recent poetry publications. Time to take that back, methinks! This particular bit of work is a colourful sketch, or a tongue-in-cheek vignette (whichever way you want to look at it) that I’d written after a short break from my fiction. At 365 words or so, it’s a shorty. Short like a shot of vinegar? Good! Acidity kills germs 😉

About Leilanie Stewart

Leilanie Stewart is an author and poet from Belfast, Northern Ireland. She has written four novels, including award-winning ghost horror, The Blue Man, as well as three poetry collections. Her writing confronts the nature of self; her novels feature main characters on a dark psychological journey who have a crisis of identity and create a new sense of being. She began writing for publication while working as an English teacher in Japan, a career pathway that has influenced themes in her writing. Her former career as an Archaeologist has also inspired her writing and she has incorporated elements of archaeology and mythology into both her fiction and poetry. In addition to promoting her own work, Leilanie runs Bindweed Magazine, a creative writing literary journal with her writer husband, Joseph Robert. Aside from publishing pursuits, Leilanie enjoys spending time with her husband and their lively literary lad, a voracious reader of sea monster books.
