Hannah Storm has spent most of the last two decades travelling the world as a journalist, experiences which have shaped and inspired her flash fiction and non-fiction. As well as writing whenever she can, she works as a media consultant, trainer and facilitator, specialising in gender, safety, mental health and leadership. She lives in Yorkshire with her Kiwi husband and two children. This is her debut personal collection. She is also working on a memoir and finalising a novel. In any spare time left, Hannah is an avid runner, having clocked up around twenty marathons.
The Thin Line Between Everything and Nothing is a flash fiction collection that explores the fragility of human relationships and those unexpected meetings and moments that upend our familiar worlds. In her debut collection, Hannah Storm takes us to far-off countries and cultures, offering the reader a glimpse of the stories behind easily forgotten headlines, blending them with myth and magic. It is here that we meet characters often pushed to the extreme, who remind us that we are all still animals – driven by instinct and a need for protection. Woven throughout are the frequently difficult dynamics that disempower and define women and which transcend distance and cultures. From this emerges an exploration of place and safety: how those environments we may fear as most hostile can bring us the greatest peace, while those that should promise comfort engender precisely the opposite.
Praise for The Thin Line Between Everything and Nothing
Hannah Storm performs powerful storytelling magic in this stunning debut. These emotionally gripping stories span the globe, peek into far-flung corners, inhabit dark roads and sunburnt tarmacs. They show us war-weary innocents, displaced seekers, imperfect lovers, mothers and children and outsiders, all longing for something like home. Storm's vision here is as aimed and searing as it is compassionate and wise. A breathtaking wonder, The Thin Line Between Everything and Nothing is not to be missed.
—Kathy Fish, Wild Life: Collected Works
An unbeatable combination of courage and talent. Respect.
—Vanessa Gebbie, The Coward's Tale
Powerful writing as strong and inspiring as the writer. Hannah Storm's short stories about little moments reveal far bigger truths about a wider, often wicked, world. They shock, they soothe; her exquisite script and extraordinary strength will keep you looking for more.
—Lyse Doucet, BBC Chief International Correspondent
Hannah Storm's bold, brilliant writing is international in scope, digging deep into our personal geographies, a fraught territory of experiences that connect us and make us human.
—Michael Loveday, Three Men on the Edge
