My short story ‘Fairy Tale Ending’ was published in the very first issue of Edinburgh literary magazine Far Off Places back in March 2013. The magazine is now moving to online-only/podcast form of publishing, but for the final print issue they asked all those who had previously been published for contributions. I submitted a short story ‘Four Funerals and a Wedding’ which has been accepted for publication in the final issue, due out in the second half of 2018.
Inspired (obviously!) by the film Four Weddings and a Funeral, Four Funerals tells the story of Jim and his cousin Clare, who meet at a series of family funerals, each several years apart. Will they get together? Whose is the wedding at the end of the tale?
