I'd like to thank everyone at Galway Rape Crisis Centre (GRCC), Aoife and judge Mike McCormack for organising the recent Flash Fiction competition, readings from which were held at Charles Byrne Bookshop in Galway last week. 

I had two stories shortlisted and got to read them out on the night. They intend to repeat the competition next year I think, and it's well worth keeping an eye out for. This was the first one, but hopefully it will grow.

Unfortunately I can't find details of the winner anywhere, but it was a brilliant story about a Traveller woman and a worthy winner.
