I am Thom Mahoney, a writer living in the Front Range of Northern Colorado.

You might like our Flash O'Day stories. I say "our," because what you will see here really is a collaborative effort of a bunch of other artists and writers of various kinds. I'll point them out to you with each story.

Simply put, Flash O'Day stories began as kind of a game. My life partner, Julia, started leaving images she'd find on the Internet on our kitchen table, and I would give myself a few minutes to come up with some idea of a story, then write a 500-word story in less than 60 minutes based on whatever nonsense I dreamed up.

Now, we all are doing the stories and the art with an idiotic time limit of around an hour. That's right. Put up or shut up in an hour. We're scaring ourselves.

That lasted for three months, during which I wrote nearly 70 stories, five of them which are collected in
Free Flash Five, which is still available on Amazon here for a thrifty 90 cents. If you're even remotely motivated, you can find it for free all over the place.

I also write novels. A lot of them. You can see a list of them, each with a brief description, on The Books page.

And just because it's a novelty, I'll tell you my writing space is a 40-year-old cab-over camper in my garage. I've never had it on a truck. I bought it on Craigslist from a family with three sons over six feet tall, and the dad and one of the sons brought it on a flatbed and pushed it into my garage.

I love my camper.

Thanks for stopping by. If you care to reach out, thom@thommahoney.com , and I'm on Facebook.
