Do you wonder what that big beautiful blue book is in my side bar? Come on, ask me; no really ask me.
Thanks, I am glad you asked.
That my friends is the compilation of all the Spring Flash in the Pan, all of the authors in one place including little ole moi. Pretty awesome, right? I can now say I am a published author, my scribbling’s have made it into a book with the incredible writings of other really wonderful authors, all of whom are truly funny and talented.
I am in awe.
I am shaking in my high heels.
Some of these talented authors have blogs others submit directly for book publication. There are a total of 16 authors and 168 pieces of great Flash Fiction in the Spring edition. Personally, I loved this set of words, the emotional peaks and valleys of elation to brokenhearted. I had a wonderful time crafting the stories, my first foray into writing to prompts and containing my word counts. Anyone who reads my blog regularly knows I can be loquacious at times.
If you enjoyed the Flash Fiction on my blog for Spring, I hope you will think about buying the complete set and supporting all the great authors who contributed. Flash in the Pan, Wave of Emotion is available in Paperback, Kindle, EPub or PDF (I of course bought the Paperback who wouldn’t want to see their name in print).
Well that is my plug for the day. I am really excited about this, yes I really am. I am excited about RedmundPro Publishing, a unique approach to the publishing world and one I am thrilled to be part of and happy to promote. In the future expect to see more books and authors promoted from RedmundPro.

I am going to promote the new book tomorrow 🙂 and will read your flash now 🙂
Thanks, and glad to see you.
You’re welcome 🙂
Nice to see that a lot of people read your story…and a bit envy 😉
Flash in the Pan is a great success – it’s a wonderful compilation, I am positive. Red is awesome for ‘getting things done’ 🙂
I like this book, well actually I like all of them but I am in this one so I love this one. My sister is awesome for her persistance.
i have taken a hiatus from flash fiction. however, for something like that book, i would be glad to contribute to the next one if they are looking for more contributions. or maybe they have enough.
The books go every season. There are never to many quality writers! There is a word a week, a theme a season. The link above is to the instructions, the list of words and the word count.
Flash on my friend.
muchas gracias senorita.
Congratulation … and keep on writing. *smile
Thanks, the flashes are a challenge but I am going to continue them for the summer and see what happens!
Good on you, not much of writer myself … I admire those that have the talent.
Such wonderful news, Val. Congratulations on becoming a published author. It’s every writer’s dream!
It is, I am still giddy. Truthfully it is just somewhat strange feeling, that my little scribblings could wind up in a book.
Congratulations hun 😀
Thank you Paula.
Congratulations Val, so glad your great heart and articulate voice has been recognised…. Hope you keep that warm fuzzy feeling for a long while..,
Thanks Valerie, it is rather exciting. I am thrilled and cannot wait till I get my paperback so I can actually touch it and see it for myself.
My wheedling notwithstanding, you did an excellent job this season. I am looking forward to your name on the cover. xxx
Oh, you caught that did you 😉
I am of course glad you did, happy I did and pleased as can be to be included with all of you.
Congratulations & Kudos! I’m very happy for you and this wonderful accomplishment.
Thank you, it is really very exciting.
Congratulations, I’m happy for you!
I am doing a bit of a happy dance. It is quite thrilling to be included actually. This is the third book of this sort published, to be included was exciting.
Congratulations! I have just met you through Doggy but you seem to have great talent! Wishing you all the best in your author endeavors!
Thank you so much, I am happy to meet you. Hope you will stop by more often.
Congrats, Val !!! I don’t know if anyone else has informed you, but there is a typo in the link that is attached to your lovely blue book image. In it, “redmund” is spelled “redmond” and sends readers to a GoDaddy page instead. Thought you might like to know. 🙂
Thank you so much for calling that out, I thought I had all the links tested twice. Apparently not. Fixed now. You are the best!!
Thank you for your congrats also.
Good Luck!!
Thanks.
Congratulations, you are deserving to be included. For some reason I’m unable to ‘Like’ certain posts on some of my favorite blogs. Your blog is one of those. dammit dammit Grrrrrrrrr.
So glad it’s available as an ePub though as I use a Kindle.
You rock Val
Derp, should have read ‘as I use a Nook.’ Confusion is my middle name. It used to be Christine.
Thanks Rachael! I don’t know why the Like doesn’t work, strange. It is okay though, just seeing you visit gives me a warm and fuzzy.
Congrats!!
Reblogged this on Doggy's Style and commented:
Please check this out
Thanks for this one and the congrats. It is very much appreciated.
Congratulations, Val!
Thanks, very cool right? Actually for me, kinda sorta strange but very cool.
No need to be humble. Shout it out! Congrats.
Humble because I am included with some really spectacular authors. Honestly, really good ones. But still bouncing in my stilletos
Thanks 🙂
Cool idea. Congrats on being part of it!
I had to really push myself, Red had to put her boot in my butt a few times. Especially for those last ones (I didn’t particularly like the words). But it is a great idea and actually quite fun (you should try it).
Thanks!
I certainly like the cover for this one
Val as it really stands out from the crowd 🙂
You have promoted it well my great friend
and now onto the next 🙂 Be good 😉 xxxx
I love the cover for this one, wonderful and so fitting. I am glad you think I promoted it well, I hope so. So are we all onto the next?
Yes I think so but then I don’t call into everyone’s Space that participates so apart from your fine entries, Red’s and a few others I don’t know who writes what? 😦
I have only written two so far for this quarter but I will complete the list before the 30th of June 🙂 Have a lovely start to your Tuesday Val 🙂

This new publication is awesome. I MUST remember ANOTHER password so I can go shopping. Nice to see you joined Flash in the Pan. Congratulations. Yay!
Red, is beyond description, isn’t she? How does she do it ALL?
I finally broke down, I bought a journal especially set up to write down my passwords in. I am in the processes of doing so. I am no longer going to rely on memory or technology. Write them down in pencil and be organized.
The new publication is grand, the cover is wonderful. You all inspired me my friend.
You are right, Red is a phenomenom, I talk to her at least once a day and still don’t know how she does it.
Oh,pish tosh. Talented people make it easy for me to do what I do.
Hooray! That’s awesome news!
Thanks Madge, it was quite a challenge and the reward is nice. To know not only did I get the words but made the book. Very cool.
Congratulations, Val – so happy for you. I’ll take a look too 🙂
Peace, Eric
Thanks Eric, it is quite inspiring to know I was included with so many other really talented authors. Red pushed and pushed that I at least try my hand. Between you and her I find I quite enjoy the challenge of Flash.
YAY!!!! Such an exciting day! I know I’ve been dancing around in excitement, too!!! I need some fancy links like you do in my Blog-Bars…..
Congratulations and LOTSA love!
I know, very awesome isn’t it? Is that you? Have you bought your copy yet?
I will send you the HTML if you need it, or just call me and I will tell you how to do it.
Copy (or two or three) purchased.
I think I know how to do it…I just need to sit down at home and pull it together. Otherwise I’ll give you a call. Too much ‘interneting’ on my phone and campus computer.
Congratulations!!!
Running right over to visit you!
I did it…I did it! Didn’t even need a “real” computer!
Excellent!
It is clearly the little things in life. Next I’m adding the “Get Read by Red” icon 🙂
Yay!!!!
❤
Congratulations Val on being featured in flash in the pan . Val to me you’ll always be more than just a flash in the pan
Tom, that is so nice thank you. I have to get to work on this season, maybe I can even be featured on the cover!
Perhaps. but it is no easy thing committing to the level of quality that your picture on the cover would indicate.
Love you Val
Thanks
Cheers to recognition of your efforts!
Thanks Frank, it is quite humbling actually. Thank Red for this one. For pushing, yanking, pulling and otherwise kicking me in the proverbial.
Cheers also to Red for her pulling it together.
Hey Congrats Val, what a lovely news, will check it out now 🙂
love n hugs 🙂
Soma, I think it is nice also. There are so many wonderful writers included in this book, it is actually very humbling to be included.
🙂
