She remains a regular contributor of short stories and serials for magazines around the world. Her work has been translated into thirteen languages.\n\nLucy says,\n\n“I'll be looking for a good story with an uncontrived ending, and for tight, economic use of language which makes every word earn its keep. The entry can be in any genre, it's the way it's written that counts.”\n\nPlease note this is NOT the Lucy Floyd who writes for children.\n\nhttp://www.multi-story.co.uk/ SUMMARY:Multi-Story Flash Fiction PRIORITY:0 CLASS:PUBLIC END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
