A Careless Resistance

A final line of defence. A last chance of escape. But something is not right . . .

Even if you’re exactly what the researchers are looking for, is it possible to be over-qualified for a medical trial?

Most warnings are little more than a polite suggestion. You can choose not to follow them if you want, but there might be consequences . . .

How else to celebrate the coming of spring than a Sunday skinny dip with the rest of the congregation . . .

When a stranger unexpectedly leaves you a message, an ordinary train journey might become something extraordinary . . .

If you can’t break the code, you’ll have to hit the road . . .

After a day out comes the winding down on the journey home . . . which really should be your own home.

Adages are made to be broken, and parables to be disproven . . .

If creativity isn’t rightly rewarded, there is always the chance that anarchy might ensue . . .

There are some plots in which a writer just doesn’t need to get involved, standing back to watch as the story writes itself . . .
