GLIMPSES BENEATH
(Silver Locust Press, June 2026.)
An anthology of flash fiction that teases, delights and entertains.
‘Glimpses Beneath is a privileged door into the remarkable world of L J Sedgwick where nothing is ordinary and everything she sees spawns strange adventures. Wonderful thoughts, beautifully expressed.‘
– Conor McAnally, Author of Bullets in the Water
This is a collection that teaches you to see the world in a heightened way, all the things that we miss because we are too busy thinking and doing. L J Sedgwick has an extraordinary gift of observation, of finding the heartrending and the darkly comic in the daily minutiae of life. An extraordinary achievement
– Katherine Mezzacappa, author of The Maiden of Florence.
SPARKS
(Janey Mac Books, May 2026.)
An artist sends a drawing. A writer responds only to what she sees. No context. No explanation.
The drawings by Belfast artist Margaret Woods Moore that inspired them are beautifully observed.
The resulting stories by Sedgwick are tiny and complete. In turn funny, fierce, tender, and occasionally devastating, they prove that flash fiction at its best carries the emotional weight of something much longer.
Together, they are something else entirely.
“SPARKS is pure alchemy – where one artist’s lines end, another’s words begin, elevating stunning art into thought-provoking and intriguing slices of life.”
– Eve McDonnell, author of The Last Boy, The Chestnut Roaster and Elsetime.
