Willesden Herald: New Short Stories 12

Please go and buy this collection of short stories I edited. I don’t make any money from online sales but they help to keep the publisher going and pay the annual Ingram catalogue fees.

Willesden Herald: New Short Stories 11

Yes, I put together this collection of short stories. If you like it tell your friends. If you don't like it, tell your enemies.

Unboxing

If you read the book, a review on Amazon or elsewhere would be very welcome, no matter whether positive, negative or mixed.

Available from: Waterstones, Powells, Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Book Depository & other online booksellers.

Book Depository, which is also owned by Amazon, offers this with “free delivery worldwide.” Sounds a bit too good to be true, no? If you successfully order from a research station in the Antarctic or the heart of Amazonia, I’d love to hear about it.

To order from a local bookshop, quote publisher Willesden Herald, ISBN 9780999527764, which they can find in their Ingram catalogue and order for you.

If you want to avoid buying from Amazon, and don’t want to buy from Powells or Waterstones or order from your local bookshop, I have a small stash of copies, which you’re welcome to have at cost. If that appeals, contact me to by email to arrange.

Glimmer Train

My story “The Babby” has been accorded honourable mention in the Glimmer Train September “Family Matters” short story competition. I am particularly chuffed as it was one of over a thousand entries, and found itself under the eyes of the marvellous Susan and Linda, the sisters behind Glimmer Train.

More infamy

One of mine has been listed in this competition for the best stories published online. You must admit at least that it has a striking title. It’s near the end of the list.
