Much excitement!

Road Song Books is proud to announce our late summer/early autumn release, The Longest Day (working title) by the wonderful Lisa Williams

Lisa is from Leicester, studied the History of Art and has worked variously in galleries, marketing and as a waitress, finding joy in the stories of her customers.
She has written for as long as she can remember, keeping her scribblings in a drawer.

When the drawer got full she started a blog and began sending stories off to various magazines, with her work appearing in many publications and anthologies. This prompted her to go back to university where she got an MA in creative writing.

Predominantly a writer of short stories, flash or micro fictions, Lisa particularly likes the tight word constraint of a drabble: a story of exactly one hundred words.

She’s a cheery soul but you wouldn’t guess that from her writing as she often dwells on the darker side of life.

Lisa regularly reads her stories on the radio and at spoken word events and takes part in the one hundred word story podcast most weeks, as well as publishing a weekly drabble on Substack.

Lisa lives in Leicester with her family where she still has a drawer full of largely illegible scribblings.

Lisa's book will follow Mark Wigan's Drawing the Night and if the train is on time we expect a late August/September release date.

Following on from Drawing the Night, Lisa's novella will be the second in a loose triptych of urban tales!

Congratulations Lisa :)

FOOD
a hundred word story

None of them had labels but we divided them equally and took it in turns with the tin opener.

I’d got peaches and it smelled like the man next to me got cat food. He still ate it like it was his last meal, or first in a while. He squelched the contents with his fingers; horrid, but really hard not to stare. While the others watched him, I drank the peach juice and tipped the contents of my tin into my bag.

It felt like the end already. But just in case it wasn’t: I needed to be prepared.

Thanks for reading. This story was originally published by Kobayaashi back in July 2024 in a collection called: The Unseen. More at noodleBubble.substack.com

WINNIE
a 100 word story

The cafe is full but unlike Costa in town no one has chosen to be here.

No one except Winnie.

An aroma of mince, warm and uncooked, lingers. It mixes with the smell of milky coffee, the only sort they serve. The attached hospital has its own smell that tries to weave its way in: a clean antiseptic that barely masks the scent of disease, sometimes death.

Winnie hasn’t got an appointment, isn’t visiting anyone and doesn’t volunteer at the hospital shop. She just likes how she’s invisible here and the skin that forms on the top of the coffee.
