Author
Rafa Olivares
Alicante · 1952
Retired former savings-bank employee, long-distance runner, writer of short short fiction, and grateful dinner guest with a weakness for grape-variety wines. Enthusiastic and proud grandfather. Also a proud son of Hercules — just to temper all that contentment.
He came to short-form fiction once the working hours, schedules and deadlines were behind him. Some of his microstories have been recognised in competitions including Relatos en Cadena (SER), La Microbiblioteca, Wonderland (Radio 4), La Radio en Colectivo (Radio Mislata), Esta Noche Te Cuento, Hotel Montreal, Cuentos del Agua, EACWP, El Cultural, Museu Marítim de Barcelona, Zenda and AMIR.
He has contributed to a number of collaborative microfiction anthologies alongside other writers, among them Un Tiempo Breve, Siempre Relatando, Libro de las Estaciones, 101 Crímenes en Valencia, Microrrelatos Abogados, El mundo en cincuenta palabras and Palabras que volaron.
Mañana me corto la otra pierna is his first solo publication.
