As she pulled the small tin from her wet bag the touch of the metal caused a twin surge of terrible loss and wonderful love to issue forth from the chambers of Inteachán’s tiny heart.

For, and despite all world-saving appearances to the contrary, Inteachán’s loss was still too close and too recent for her to do anything other than be totally overwhelmed once more.

…

An unknown time passed before Inteachán was ready to begin again. She reached back into her rucksack and pulled out her spare penlight. She turned the penlight on and pointed.

Like a chalk line barely drawn across the blackness of infinity Inteachán’s beam hardly touched the dark.

  2. I always like reading your post. In the short post, I see creativity and I love the flow. For your stories, do you finish the stories first then post them and did you get an ISBN number before you post it? I want to follow in your foot steps and post my own stories, hopefully paving a way into the self-publishing / publishing industry. Keep up the work!

    1. Hi Michael, thank you so much for your feedback. I really appreciate it! I try and write 100 words a day every day. I manage this most of the time. With Bara Cailin I am slightly ahead at the moment and rely on scheduling posts for the most part. I am planning to complete 5 chapters and then publish the whole thing as a book. I am also working on Volume 2 of the Falcon Boy series which I hope will arrive sometime in 2016. As you know running a blog is hard work but I do think that the key is to publish regularly. I look forward to reading your work. Good luck with it! Kind regards, Barnaby
