Wave Goodbye.....and other stories
The pleasure both in writing and reading short stories is to capture a moment in time, a character, an emotion, a relationship, a familiar or a wildly unfamiliar feeling.
This new collection of stories does all of this and more
Eleven stories to transport you
You'll be introduced to characters pleasant and not so pleasant, to situations common and less so and to unexpected twists and incidents!
The lead story - "Wave Goodbye" - is populated by the wealthy, accomplished and comfortable in idyllic Cape Cod, "Bum" by the very opposite, at the bottom of society, living their lives to survive by the day. In "Expecting to Fly" you'll find a young free spirit believing in the fantastical power of her mind; in "Dread" our hard-striving post-WW2 protagonists work hard to conquer their life circumstances and the cracks in their New York relationship.
You'll find yourself in a powerful car on a racetrack ("Blue Rocket"); in a quintessential East Anglian village on its biggest day of the year ("Big Ticket"); on a faded but loved and lively seaside pier (Pierage") and in a boxing ring mysteriously conjured from the past ("Round Two").
