The creative urge has been working overtime recently since I started writing flash fiction or micro-fiction.
I’m aiming to put up a new story every day.
Check out how I’m keeping up with this target at my free online flash fiction site.

For a while I’ve been battling with the concept of podcasting and I now think I’ve got it cracked
I hope you enjoy listening to my first podcast short story Three Christmas Lovers
By for now

Every Christmas, I write a special short story for all my friends around the world which is much more fun than just sending Christmas cards.
My 2006 Christmas short story is called ‘Three Christmas Lovers’.
Three men woo one lady. Who will win her true love?
I hope you enjoy reading ‘Three Christmas Lovers’ and have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Painting pictures of the mind is a creative short story by Rob Hopcott which examines living paintings and the stories they contain that bring art to life for viewers and artists.
The reader is drawn into a web of stories through a series of interconnected characters that present reality from different points of view.
Reality undergoes rapid change throughout this short story which is unsettling until the story is over, tensions are resolved and the full picture is painted.
