My story ‘Seeing Red’ has just been published by Sky Island Journal.
The editors, Jason Splichal and Jeff Sommerfeld, are a joy to work with and have the best personal touch I’ve ever seen. This is an extract of their acceptance letter: “Seeing Red” is stellar flash fiction. It resists the temptation to get in its own way, and the emotional transport it provides is astonishing. Your craft is tight; your dialogue is shockingly natural; your pacing is perfect, and your palpable imagery saturates every layer of this character-driven narrative. The ebb and flow of your restraint and revelation is so organic—and the tension you build is so incredibly subtle—that readers are deliciously unprepared for your dagger at the end. In many ways, this is Doug Jacquier flash fiction at its finest, and we can’t wait to share it with our readers around the world.”
They have over 150,000 readers in 150 countries and a family of over 900 contributors hailing from 50 countries and they send you an actual physical post card when they select your piece.

Wow! Save that for the front cover of your next published hatd cover collection. They’re NOT wrong!

Congratulations, Doug, this is really nice! I can’t wait to be one of those 150,000 readers. And that postcard is a really nice touch. I didn’t think anyone used postage stamps and mail anymore.
