Short Fuses - New Writing from The Shed
Short Fuses is a compendium of 20 incendiary confections created in the fractious online assembly known as the Bookshed: an unruly gathering of linguistic fugitives whose only common bond is a passion for writing, absinthe and monkeys. Most of the writers represented here are escapees from other peer-review websites, although at least one is on the run from constabularies not merely virtual. Should you wish to meet them, why not knock on the bar-room door at www.bookshed.eu? http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/short-fuses/6294854

Hi, James
I've not read anything from you in a long while, or I just missed you since RR membership has increased 100 fold. Been thinking about you just yesterday and hope you are doing well. I will check out this website.
If you have more time, can you tell us more about South Africa, and how neighboring Zimbabwe is affecting your country?
Hey, Belle
Good to hear from you. I'll ponder your question for a bit. Our fates are intertwined though, ours and Zimbabwe's. It's a fascinated place to live. A brand new democrasy. Perhaps not unlike America's early history - a good constitution being tested by citizens who have never lived in a democrasy before?
