I really thought I was going to be boo hooing on the Uber ride to the airport today, but I had the most luminous conversation with the driver that saved my whole day. Good looking out, Ryan. 6 stars.

I've taken the reins for this month's #Mondettes - it's my end-of-year round-up of some of my favourites from 2025, also known as the MAFFIAS!!! mondettes.substack.com/p/december-2...
Against a black background the gold text reads "The MAFFIAS. The Matt Flash Fiction Awards 2025." There is an icon of a maffiosa also in gold.

When I first started writing flash fiction, my goal was to work with @thirtywestph.com—I liked the books, I liked the stance. Josh is the real deal. I’m deeply grateful. And ten years publishing indie books is no accident. So impressive. One love.
