I have been waiting for a long time to write this post. If you follow me on twitter, or the twitter account of Crow & Cross Keys, you may know how much I love long titles. They can be book titles, the titles of songs or poetry, short stories or anything else that can have a title. I will gobble them all up and love every second of it.

Now, I can finally share one of my own long-titled short stories!

“Conferring With Ghosts Between the Hours of Three and Four Forty-Five in the Morning” is a strange little story about a girl and some ghosts. It was a challenge to write and I’m really proud of it.

I really hope you enjoy it!

You can read it here.

Do check out the rest of the stories in issue one—one of my issue-mates is actually a wonderful friend of mine, and her story, “Vieux Carré”, is excellent. Highly recommend.
