#FridayFlash – Shadowburn

August 24, 2012 by Icy Sedgwick 15 Comments

The red-haired woman opened her eyes and screamed. Thick rope looped around her body, binding her to a stake on the village green. Her scream grew louder as consciousness returned. “Ah, it’s awake.” The village elders sat on large chairs beneath the shade of a marquee. Villagers crammed behind them, jostling for the best position […]

#FridayFlash – The Spin Doctor

August 17, 2012 by Icy Sedgwick 17 Comments

August 15, 2012 by Icy Sedgwick 1 Comment

At the start of August, you might have seen me madly tweeting about the fact I finally had a paperback copy of Crooked Fang by my very good friend Carrie Clevenger. Now, I’m not one for vampires, but I’ve been rather keen on Carrie’s take since I first read the serial she ran on her […]
