O is for Others

For this year’s A to Z, I will be doing a collection of flash fiction featuring Steven, the MC from Blackbird, from right before he came to Newstead through his first year there.
O is for Others

He turns and leads me toward one of the buildings, and not knowing any better, I follow. He’s not the only one walking around now; there are lots of people, all of them as big as the guy I’m following, as big as me.
That’s new.
The man turns and faces me. “I’m sorry, what?”
“Nothing,” I mutter and look around. He’s not the only one looking at me expectantly.
My thoughts go to the sign out front: School for gifted young men.
I’m starting to think they weren’t just talking about sports.

I am giving out review copies of Blackbird through Story Cartel, in exchange for Amazon Reviews (And blog reviews would be great, too) before it’s official release date on May 1st You can get your copy here  Also, Story Cartel is doing a big giveaway of its own this month, so signing up for a review of any book featured there puts your name in that pot.

  1. Wow, some great prizes there!

    Definitely piqued my interest in the book from this extract. Sounds like a great scheme but sadly I won't have time to read and review before May, definitely add it to my list though!

  6. I KNEW it! It's a school that caters to kids like Steve. But the question remains... is it a "good" or "bad" school?
