Just back on BlueSky after a few days in deep shock after hearing the very sad news about the death of John Brantingham.
He did did an immense amount for Bath Flash Fiction and the @flashficfestuk.bsky.social since 2018. We will miss him so much & will be posting more soon on the website
It's such shocking and sad news. Lorraine was so lovely and smiley, always so excited to be at the festival. She will be missed by so many of us. And thank you for publishing her story on the festival blog; I'm finding myself quite moved by it.
Lovely to read another of Lorraine’s stories
Oh thats really sad to hear. She was lovely. I think i reccommended the festival to her at a writing retreat in brighton.
Such sad news - a lovely woman. We'll miss her.
She possessed a tender heart which made its appearance in her writing, like the one included in Jude's post, and in this flash published not too long ago.
