Welcome to my Short Stories page. You will find tales of love and of prejudice, passion and fear, jealousy and empathy, deception and devotion; characters to despise or to inspire. You can share in their mirth or uncover their deepest secrets, even their fantasies. Allow a reality television personality to take you on a trip through the ‘Calamari’; a rogue satnav trace an impossible route for a weary traveller; a father and boy stranded in the South Pacific ocean; a mother who would do anything it takes to save her family from destruction; a man who is trying to find an equation to freeze time; and three ‘ladies’ attempting to outwit each other . . . whilst drunk. Whichever story you choose, I hope that you enjoy it.
