I’ve been invited by the lovely Audra North to participate in the First Kiss Flash Fiction Blog Hop. I’m so excited to be a part of it, along with some fabulous other authors. Want to know what this is all about? Of course you do!

Remember the video where 20 strangers kiss for the first time? Right after it came out, it went viral, and even though it was later revealed that it was shot as an advertisement, the effect was pretty amazing.

Attraction is…attractive.

So attractive, in fact, that it inspired a group of us got together and write our own version of “20 Strangers Kissing.” Except in this case, it’s over 20 authors, each writing a flash fiction piece about two strangers who share their first kiss on camera.

Every day from April 7th through April 14th, participating authors will post their stories to their websites. We’ll also be tweeting out links to the #FirstKiss hashtag on Twitter and posting links to Facebook. We’ve put together an easy-to-use schedule of authors below.

But even if you’re not on this list, you can still join in the fun! Have a first kiss short that you want to share? Just tweet out the link to the #FirstKiss hashtag between April 7th and April 14th!

We hope you’ll enjoy all the posts, share them with friends, and maybe even be inspired to write your own. Because attraction is attractive!
