Big Shoes To Fill

By Damon L. Wakes

What if horses rode cowboys? What if Sleeping Beauty didn't want to be woken up? What if a teenage Alexander the Great was transported through time to meet the Biker Mice from Mars? Written one-a-day for Flash Fiction Month 2022, the stories in this book will answer these questions and more! (They'll also probably raise quite a few of their own.)

He holds an MA in Creative and Critical Writing from the University of Winchester, and a BA in English Literature from the University of Reading.When he isn’t writing, Damon enjoys weaving chainmail and making jewellery.

He has at various times taken up archery, fencing and kayaking, ostensibly as research for books but mostly because it’s something to do.
