Still Worlds Turning, No Alibis Press, edited by Emma Warnock
My short story Molly & Jack at the Seaside finally found a home after 15 long years on my hard drive in No Alibis Press’ anthology of experimental fiction: Still Worlds Turning.
You can read about Molly’s long and circuitous path to finding a publisher here.

Molly and Jack are lovers. His friends call him Jimmy. They go down, to the beach, close by the harbour, on Tuesday evenings, and wriggle in the sand. Molly and Jack are close friends.

Still Worlds Turning, edited by Emma Warnock, includes stories by many legends and an introduction by June Caldwell:
