Fast. Fearless. Memorable.

The eleven stories found in Magpie: A Collection of Really Short Stories will introduce you to a motley cast of strong characters with one thing in common: heart. Stories include Pushcart-nominated "The Blemish Collector", heart-wrenching "Ashes", short-and-not-so-sweet "Magpie", and the previously unpublished flash story, "The Jackals".

“There are a lot of things in life that are hard. Creating yourself anew through a stale marriage. Managing your regret in the face of great trauma. Struggling with your life choices in the presence of a nun. Let Carrie Mumford walk you through these situations, crafting stories and lives that feel as dear and personal as family.” -- Joseph Carlough

Filled with tales of strong, struggling, and stunning women, Magpie: A Collection of Really Short Stories, is sure to entertain.
