...because I really, really like this.
Someone take me to Paris, yes...?

Nik Perring’s moving and imaginative flash fictions capture whole lives in just a glimpse, a character, a snatch of dialogue, and a few perfectly chosen details. These short, short stories are so full of life. -Michael Kimball, author of Dear Everybody
An unforgettable assortment of wonky connections that glitter with truthfulness, that spill out ache, that make me nod my head and whisper,yes. -Caroline Smailes, author of Like Bees to Honey
'I was reminded of Rhodes and Hempel while reading these stories, which are easily their equal, as well as occasional glimpses of Murakami, but I mostly kept thinking back to Sarah Salway. Salway is probably the best short story writer in the UK at the moment and she had better watch out because Perring is (albeit very politely, I am sure) on her tail.' - Scott Pack, publisher with The Friday Project (HarperCollins).
Perring is a writer whose talent expands beyond his word count in this intriguing debut. -Michael Czyzniejewski, author of Elephants in Our Bedroom.

Lovely, Nik. Reminds me a bit of Sia Furler - do you know her? Her first solo album 'Colour the Small One' was very good (she also sang with Zero 7).
Nice song, Nik.
Read your piece on Metazen, liked it a lot.
Hey Clair - I certainly do - she's ace, and another recent discovery. Any more recommendations - send 'em over! (You might like Jaymay, Russian Red, Emmy The Great, for starters...).
Thanks Richard - that's really cool to hear! Nice blog, yourself, sir!
Love it! I'm going to Paris next month. Cannot wait.
Talli - I am officially Very Jealous! Have cool, cool fun!!
