    STATE OF DENIAL – AN EXTRACT

    Today’s prompt brought to mind a scene from my recently published novel ‘ State Of Denial’, (perhaps because I’m now writing the next book in the trilogy), so I thought I would use an extract in reply to Sue’s prompt today. I hope it intrigues the reader! The path kept going through the base of…

  • SHUTTERED

    SHUTTERED

    In the end, governments didn’t need to ban religion. The numbers attending had dwindled away to almost nothing. It was their arrival that had sparked the crisis of faith. They had laughed at the world and their primitive beliefs. They had shown them the universe beyond the tiny galaxy their Earth inhabited. No God created…

    GOOD INTENTIONS

    She lined up the various jars at the sink. She screwed her face up in disgust at some of the labels. His attempt to help was well intentioned, but ill-conceived. She had been living with type-1 diabetes for 20 years. She had patiently explained carb counting and insulin injections to him, as she had had…

  • A TANGLED WEB

    A TANGLED WEB

    ‘Oh, what a tangled web we weave When first we practise to deceive!’ The quote from Walter Scott ran around his head. He was trapped in a web of his own making. He had lied, deceived, obfuscated. All in an attempt to extricate himself from the situation. There was only one way out: create more…

  • CHAMBERMAID

    CHAMBERMAID

    Typical politician. One night he stayed, left the place a mess. Still, that’s what she was paid for – get the room ready for the next guest. Only the Minimum Wage though. Suppose she should be thankful to him for upping that in the last budget. Useless though, the lot of them. And now, another…
