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.
