There’s me happily scrolling the longlist like, I know so many of these names, these stories are great! Wait! That’s me. Nestled beside @GillOshaughness. Thanks to @laughingyeti, @VenitaBlackburn and @FictiveDream 🎉😁

@JDMontgomery_ @BathFlashAward Yes, James. What exciting news. So pleased for you! 🎉😁

Overjoyed to be on the @BathFlashAward longlist for the first time ever! 🤗 Congratulations to those listed, commiserations to those not. Most importantly, do not give up on those stories - this one took three years to write. I am so thrilled to be in this year’s anthology 🙃
