AT LAST... SOMETHING NEW!
I’d grown lazy, complacent, out of the writing habit…. what had I been playing at since my last novel was published in 2018?
Very little, other than a few short stories and a monthly dog column for the local newspaper. And so I might have continued, but for the untimely death of a close friend who had so much left to do…and from wherever, she gave me the necessary kick up the backside.
Trawling through my office drawers (never throw anything out, just in case) I came upon half-finished novels, newspaper articles and…a cache of stories. Flash fiction, short, shortish, rambling, medium and long: early embarrassments, experimental stuff, horror, humour and everything in between, competition entries, successful and otherwise, all just sitting there. And I thought: why not?
‘In Plain Sight’ (subtitle: ‘The horror in
everyday things’) represents two sides of the same coin: the monsters in the
mundane, the evil in the everyday, the just-when-you-thought-you-were-safe, lurking
in full view. Twenty-four tales about small moments that changed everything.
And the book is dedicated to my late friend, who fought her own everyday
horrors with courage, sarcasm and humour.
