Blood Fiction v3 now available to order - two Lyle Hopwood stories within

 I'm very pleased to announce that I have two stories in Blood Fiction v3 (curated once again by Mark Sevi). 

Crossmatch is a tale of exhausting on-call work in a hospital blood bank, with a twist at the end. 

Mummy Wheat is a story about pregnancy, birth, and death, but not in the usual order. There's a digression on Mummy Wheat, once found in Ancient Egyptian tombs and guaranteed to sprout upon planting, even after thousands of years accompanying a mummy deep in an underground tomb.

. Sir Flinders Petrie himself gets a namecheck in the story. Though mummies and preserved wheat may sound dry (because they are) the story lives up to the name 'Blood Fiction'!
