100 Not Out

100 Not Out is a collection of some of Edinburgh author Gordon Lawrie's best 100-word flash fiction stories. Published initially over the last few years in Friday Flash Fiction, they explore every genre – including science fiction, crime, romance, historical fiction and, above all, humour. They're intended as a diversion, to be read on a bus or train journey, perhaps, occasionally thought-provoking but never challenging, and the flash fiction format ensures that the reader is never bored. This is risk-free reading.Divided into sections on crime, history, art and literature, love and romance, science, horror, sport and leisure, Christmas and a general catch-all Miscellaneous category, Lawrie provides 100 stories of exactly 100 words in length. Gordon Lawrie spent thirty-six years teaching Modern Studies in the Edinburgh area, and has written on several educational topics including citizenship, the teaching of politics, and the relationship between education and society. In an earlier part of his life, he was a mediocre pub-style folk singer, singing a mix of his own songs and covers of others.Today he lives in Edinburgh city centre.
