First, something I promised Diane I’d do a while ago – post a picture of my workspace. It’s my desk earlier in the week. I think, judging by the book on my desk, I’d just finished reading Errand, by Raymond Carver (very good and I have no idea why I’d not read it before).

***
And here’s what the local press had to say about what my writing group (some of whom are pictured – Jenny, Betty and Karen) did for the local British Legion (some of whom are pictured – Harry Gaskell, and Anne Cave). I’m just chuffed and – I admit it – surprised my name’s spelled right.

Praise for Nik’s Books

"Playful, subversive, poetic and smart, Nik Perring's stories are gems. Every one of them."

- 3:AM Magazine

"Perring is a writer whose talent expands beyond his word count"

- Michael Czyzniejewski, author of Elephants in Our Bedroom

"Nik Perring's moving and imaginative flash fictions capture whole lives in just a glimpse, a character, a snatch of dialogue, and a few perfectly chosen details. These short, short stories are so full of life."

- Michael Kimball, author of Dear Everybody

“Read it and be amazed! Before you finish you’ll already be thinking of who to buy if for. It’s a circus sideshow made of words: dare to enter and become astonished to discover yourself on stage, in the staring role. I guarantee that by the time you finish reading this book you’re not only recognize your inner freak, but you'll have learned to love it.”

- Andrew Kaufman, author of All My Friends are Superheroes
