ABOUT EACH SHORT STORY...
A simple reminder of the value of the earth's richest commodity. In verse.
Two true events that have laid buried for sixty years.
A young journalist in 1930's Kentucky recounts how love can last and be re-born against the odds.
Sometimes when a friend needs you most, you are powerless to help.
If only they could talk! These birds can - and what a tale they tell.
He turned out all right (in the end)
Even the strongest can be vulnerable, but what doesn't kill you...
Losing a companion can be bearable, as long as you are happy as to where - and why - you have lost them.
Memoir of a Blaby Boy: 1950-1970

If you enjoy read-in-a-session short stories then these Three Easy Pieces may be just what you're looking for.
'The Black Hound of Dartmoor' is the main tale of mystery combined with a haunting and a touch of romance, set in the late 1800's.
It leaves you to decide what is truth and what is legend. But the location is certainly real, capturing and preserving a way of life, much of which has since disappeared.
But not all...
'Love's Too Short' and 'You only Love Once' each explore relationships in a coming-of-age context - one somewhat humorous, the other a rather sad tale but, as ever, ending with a message of hope.
