the offer is only available while stocks last.
Wild Flowers is
a 164 page paperback compilation of short stories by
a group of talented UK writers.
Within its pages
you will discover many styles and many subjects. These
stories range from the tale of a sailor framed for murder
to a miner convinced that God is directing his life.
You will also find a ghostly tale of a man haunted by
his dead wife and the story of a baby which disappears
from a nativity scene. You can read all about the three
dogs in one man’s life and the quirky tale of
the man who has his own halo.
You will also find
a description of a family which builds a dam and haunting
tales about a housewife who discovers a shocking letter
and another woman who finds a distressing message in
a bottle.
There’s also
a surprising encounter for one woman who answers the
door to a mysterious old lady. You can be amused by
the alarming effect that confectionery has on one character.
Also hear how cider causes one man’s delusions
- or are they? There’s also a journalist who gets
to interview God. You can find out about the surprising
traditions of a Caribbean funeral.
Whichever you pick
as your favourite short story, we hope you will enjoy
them all as much as we have enjoyed putting this book
together.
It’s the
first short story book that we have ever produced and
it’s been so enjoyable that it certainly won’t
be the last.
