London torn. Night and day. Sinners and angels. Debut novel by Mark A. King, available now
First new story in a couple of years. Writing a novel is a slow, and painful process, so it felt good to go back to small word counts and super-tight writing. Thanks for reading. If you can vote then that would be even better (it's in a comp). https://short-edition.com/en/story/5-min/sixteen-again Thank you kindly - M
So, how did my massive experiment with writing 50,000 words in a month go? It was, by all accounts, a great success. I am the proud owner of a shiny certificate, but, more importantly, I am the owner of a draft which totals more than half of a my second novel. A draft novel is …

Hey there. I've never been a big fan of NaNoWriMo ((Inter)National Novel Writing Month). I guess I always knew the limitations of a busy full time job with tons of responsibility, the commitments of hectic family life, trying to fit in volunteering and supporting others with their dreams and ambitions. I also didn't like the …

An interview with some very hard questions.

I “met” Mark A. King on the Flash! Friday weekly flash fiction contest, and quickly came to look forward to the pieces of writing he submitted each week. He had (has) a way with words that sort of wrapped around my imagination, and it was a treat to get to co-judge with him for the same contest for a few months.
Since those days, Mark has started the Flashdogs, a group of writers with some awe-inspiring skills, as well as published several anthologies of flash fiction. Just this month, he’s released his very first novel, Metropolitan Dreams, and I’m thrilled to be able to share it with you.
Mark is stopping by my website to say hello and intrigue you with his plans for post-apocalyptic world restructure. Just because a genie is involved doesn’t mean it’s easy…
