In this book there are 20 short stories, 2 pieces of flash fiction and an article on writing short fiction. This is the first time these have been published as a collection. Each item has been previously published in the UK, either in a print magazine or online. The rule I have set myself is simple: - unless an editor has chosen something I have written for their own publication - it won't appear in one of my collections. The stories in these pages include many characters with their own quirky ways. They either did things - or things happened to them - that are worth telling you about.
