Ten Twisted Tales of Courage and Comeuppance. A short collection that packs a punch. Up in the attic, amid spiders and dreams, I am unsure where to start. Sorting through everything seems an insurmountable task…

A brutalised partner; a power-wielding cashier; an arrogant interviewee - Embers (and Other Stories) is a micro-collection that features tales with a twist. Descriptive, incisive and unique, these stories explore the challenges of contemporary life and the human condition.

Dreena Collins is a prize-winning author of short fiction: listed and placed in numerous competitions for her short fiction, she was also a finalist in the SPR Book Awards (2020), and Highly Commended in the Dragonfly Awards, 2021. The title story of this collection was shortlisted in the Retreat West themed flash fiction competition, 2021.

Praise for Dreena’s writing:

A candid look into the cracks and holes in society that the most vulnerable often fall into. Georgie Bull, blogger.

Beautifully written - filled with descriptive, sensory text. - Australian Writer’s Centre.

Collins is able to make ordinary struggles emotionally poignant and powerful. - Mad Hatter Reviews
