Words from a Glass Bubble
Words from a Glass Bubble, a collection of short stories by prize-winning author Vanessa Gebbie Available from Salt Publishing and Amazon

Original, compassionate and illuminated by humour, these stories by a prodigiously gifted new writer dare to mine the fault-line between rage and love.
~ Maggie Gee, Maggie Gee, (Chair, The Royal Society of Literature, 2004-2008)

These narratives unfold before us with the deftness and assurance of the truly gifted writer. A remarkable book.
~ Jacob Ross, FRSL

A srikingly fresh voice, sharp, shocking and original, a natural, gifted writer.
~ Peter James



Selected online publications...

The Lighthouse Project


Three Stages in Learning to Fly on Cafe Irreal


Stinker and the Taff Vale Railroaders at BuzzWords


My first publication, so it is dear to my heart. As is the underlying theme. I was given away for adoption at birth. Issues of identity and the implications of displacement are very important to me.


The Saint and Sapphira at Absinthe Literary Review

A novel squeezed into a short story. Set in Tuscany, it follows the life of a girl who never forms a solid relationship with a real man, but is fixated on St Peter.


Gas Gangrene at Eclectica

Dedicated to the young men who are buried at Tyn Cot cemetery, in what was Flanders.

One example of my 'flash' fiction writing. Written in about half an hour in an intense flash writing session, and unedited apart from typos. It's an example of how powerful voices and themes can appear in a creative buzz.
