Relationships old and new, diverging choices, things left behind and things yearned for are all explored in this vibrant collection of flash fiction.

Through reflections on the past, or meditations on the present, lose yourself in these extraordinary and often experimental takes on the theme of 'ten'.

Featuring stories from Amanda Saint, Gaynor Jones, Rosie Garland, Amy Barnes, Jude Higgins, Amanda Huggins, Michael Loveday, Reshma Ruia and many more.

Jones, Gaynor: - Author Gaynor Jones is a married, mother of two children, who graduated in 2018 with honours from a Law Clerk program. She has written a non-fiction memoir about her mother's abuse at school in England due to Rose being poor. The title is Rose's Tale: The Strap, The Wooden Compass, The Endless Abuse at School. Her mother Rose's health has deteriorated, so Gaynor wants the world to know the abuse children suffered through while growing up in England in the 1940s and 1950s by their teachers. Gaynor has diplomas as a Law Clerk, and an Office Administrator Executive Secretary where she worked for years through her provincial government. Her hobbies include cooking, baking, gardening. Her interests include playing with her two guinea pigs, Reese, and Marble. The Author was born near Liverpool, England and came to Canada as a young girl settling in Brantford, Ontario. Her passion has always been writing. During her school years she excelled in writing class. She is passionate about telling stories that have never been told before. Gaynor has also finished writing a book based on her daughter Abigail (Abby). Abby has been an air cadet from the ages of 12-18 years. Gaynor is hoping that those youth under 12-years-old will be interested in her book, love what the air cadets have to offer, and join. The story is called Gabby's Journey-The Making of a Canadian Air Cadet Pilot. Gaynor was a book nerd growing up. Her favourite books were the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series. Even in high school, Gaynor's nose would always be in a book.
