Pre-order: Seeing Red

Some of you might remember my first short story collection, "Pieces of a Rainbow", released in 2009. That collection is no longer available, but I am planning to edit and release each of the stories from the collection separately. The first story, "Seeing Red" is now available for pre-order for Kindle on Amazon worldwide.

It's a newly edited version of the story that appeared in the 2009 collection.

"Seeing Red" is the story of Savannah as she tries to reconnect with her ex-husband and their son.

Blurb:

Staring at the sunset, she wondered whether she could try again, now that she would be turning a new leaf. It felt like she was being given a second chance at life. Realistic hadn’t worked out, maybe it was time to chase the dreams.

Can Savannah reconnect with her lost love, or is it too late?

"Seeing Red" a newly edited version of the story that appeared in my 2009 collection of short stories, "Pieces of a Rainbow". The story is the same, but I have added to it and generally updated it. I plan to do the same for all the stories in the collection and perhaps release a paperback edition later in the year, as the original book is now out of print.

"Seeing Red" has always been one of my favourite stories from "Pieces of a Rainbow". I hope you'll enjoy it too.

Out now: FIRE - my latest short story
























If you enjoy reading short stories, I have a new one out this month. FIRE originally appeared in my collection "Pieces of a Rainbow", which was the first short story collection I released, back in 2009.

I recently decided to rewrite the stories and republish the collection. I've always liked these stories and it felt like the right time to republish them as the collection has been out of print for a while. I am currently working through the rewrites one story at a time and releasing them individually on Kindle.

The first story, "Seeing Red" was released last month: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BQ7F83XN/



"Fire" is now available on Kindle at Amazon worldwide. You don't need to own a Kindle eReader to enjoy Kindle books, just download the app from Amazon and read the stories on your PC, laptop, smartphone, etc.

Pre-order: Envy

My latest short story, "Envy", will be available to purchase on Kindle at Amazon on 22 May 2023. You can pre-order it now!

Envy is the fourth story from the "Pieces of the Rainbow" collection, which I am currently re-editing. The stories were originally released as a collection in 2009. That version is now out of print.

I'm hoping to release the whole collection on paperback eventually, when I have had time to re-edit all the stories. For now, I am releasing them one story at a time on Kindle.

About Envy:
Envy is Sandra and Mima's story. They first met at primary school and were best friends. This tale tells the story of how jealousy ended their friendship, and how perception and reality are often at odds.



Pre-order Envy:

Pieces of a Rainbow - Update

The fifth story from my "Pieces of a Rainbow" collection has now been released. The story FOREVER BLUE is a romantic tale that takes a look at lost love and how one moment can remain with us forever. It's probably my favourite story of the whole collection.

It's available on Kindle for just 99c/78p or the equivalent currency worldwide.

Amazon UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C8F2NRCZ/r
Amazon US: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C8F2NRCZ/r





The other four stories from the collection that have been released so far are also available on Kindle as individual stories.

My plan for the final two stories is to edit them and then release them as part of the paperback that I hope to release later this year. Also included in the paperback version will be some bonus stories, including two of the original drafts that never made it into the collection when it was first published in 2009.

I'll post some more news when I have it. I hope you are enjoying the stories so far.
