Bookmunch reviews Five Different Stories About One Thing, and a launch date.

Here's another very nice review of Five Different Stories About One Thing, this time from Bookmunch. It's very complimentary about the Confingo series of collaborative mini-collections to which the book belongs, and says that FDSAOT 'maintains the high standards'. 'You can play an interesting game,' says the reviewer, working out what the 'one thing' is that links the stories (each written in a different genre): 'Violence, Family? Betrayal? Secrets? Legacy?' Well, as they indicate, it's all of these things, but for me the most important are the first and last - the legacy of violence, the way violence can have an impact down the generations, and whether or not, in subsequent generations, it can be eradicated or overcome. 

And we now have a launch date. We'll be celebrating the publication at the lovely Saul Hay Gallery in Castlefield (see picture below) on 27th May at 7.30. I'll read from the book, and writer and short fiction professor Ailsa Cox will quiz me about it. It's a free event - with a glass of wine! - but you are asked to book HERE.

Obviously the book will be available to buy at the event, but you can also get it HERE

I went through a very painful breakup with my boyfriend. We stopped talking, and he even blocked me on all social media. I was heartbroken and didn’t know what to do, so I started searching online for help. That’s when I came across several testimonies about Dr. Dawn and how he had helped people reunite broken relationships and marriages, as well as helped women conceive through his guidance.
At first, I was unsure, but I decided to reach out to him. When we spoke, he told me things about myself and my relationship that were surprisingly accurate. He then guided me on what I should do.
To my surprise, within 48 hours, my boyfriend—who had completely cut me off—started calling me and sending me many messages, apologizing and asking for forgiveness. I forgave him, and we got back together.
Not only that, but with his support and guidance, we are now blessed with two beautiful children.
I am truly grateful for everything, and I strongly recommend Dr. Dawn to anyone going through relationship, marriage, or fertility challenges.
