SHORT STORY COLLECTIONS

 

 

A short story is perfect for the odd ten minutes of relaxation, whether in bed first thing in the morning, or last thing at night, between train stations, at the airport, on a sun lounger or in an armchair. 

​

Here you will find humour, or darkness... with nothing between.

Confessions

ISBN-13-978-1701793880

​​​

​

​Let’s face it. Things go wrong. And we’re not always proud of what we do.

 

Between these covers is a veritable confession box of revelations.

​

Some might well be fictional. Others possibly... maybe... probably have a nugget of truth in them.

 

But for legal reasons, let’s just call them 'stories', shall we?

 

Wink, wink.

Wingin' It...

ISBN-13-978-1704932552

 

​

​​​

So you thought fairies were special?
Lived wholesome lives collecting pearly teeth and leaving a sprinkle of stardust in their wake?
​
Think again, people.
 
In Fairyland, they have exactly the same pressures as us: cosmetic surgery, online dating and even their own Bake Off.
 
There are lotharios, chavs, drunks and, of course, those that are bent on getting their wicked ways…
 
These are neither the fairy tales, nor the characters, of your innocent childhood.
 
No.
 
These fairies have issues that only grown-ups will understand.

As their stories spill out, prepare to be pulled in.
