You're Supposed to be Dead Before You Leave a Ghost by Sam James, narrated by Maverick Jones

The aftermath of a relationship can be a very sad time indeed. It can almost feel as if you're being haunted by your ex...

- followed by an interview with Sam, the author, about his writing process, his take on twists in flash fiction, and the relationship between writer and reader. Sam is one of Writing Battle's most consistently successful authors; you won't want to miss this!

Blooming Anarchy, written and narrated by Alexis Hunter

One community garden. Miserable bureaucratic barriers. One woman who takes absolutely zero crap in her mission to help the people around her.

- followed by an interview with Alexis, the author, about her writing process, her love of side-characters, and her children's books (one of which came about from somebody else's prompts in a writing competition). Alexis has fantastic range as a writer and has excellent, honest insights into the process.

Here Comes Your Man by Jaime Gill, narrated by Chris Fulwell

Would you go back and stop yourself from meeting the love of your life, given how much they've ruined it? Addiction, time travel, love and pain come crashing together in this superb contest winner from Jaime Gill.

- followed by an interview with Jaime, the author, about his passion for storytelling, the unpredictable nature of writing competitions, and how he makes sure no story he writes is ever wasted. Jaime is one of the most prolific writers in the Writing Battle community, with multiple wins and publications to his name; his interview is a must-listen for aspiring writers.
