Shadows in the Light

I've just uploaded a new e-book of short stories: Want an enjoyable way to fill a few spare minutes. Shadows in the Light. 15 Short Stories Each story takes as long to read as drinking your morning tea or coffee. I think shorts are widely seen as the poor relation of novels, but, in my view and certainly in my experience, fitting in characterisation, plot, setting and a complete story arc in so few words is quite an achievement. The other advantage of course, is that you can read a complete story on the bus or train, during your morning coffee or afternoon tea or while waiting in the doctor's or dentist's surgery. In this collection, you will find Rosemary who cannot forget her first love, Anna, trying to escape from a controlling bullying employer, Will, caught between two women, one of whom he loves with all his heart and the other who won't let him go. Then there is the unknown protagonist who will go to any lengths necessary to achieve vengeance, the spider-hating girl who has a shock when she searches the basement and Silas, whose assumptions lead to tragedy. So for those of you who don't normally read shorts, take a leap of faith and try these. You never know, you might enjoy them.
