Beyond the Brackets

Five writers from very different backgrounds invite readers on a journey of humour and thought provoking life experiences. Each story is unique, some dark, some light, and to mention just a few: a bipolar trip along the blue Danube; an Indian mother's solution to a family problem; a widow's long overdue Parisian break; unusual incidents in a Highland inn; a computer's upsetting dilemma; something strange that happened to a stone crane; unwanted facial hair; buying a mobile phone; a life-changing vision of Jesus; tension on a hospital ward; and a colourful array of basques. This diverse collection contains flash fiction, poetry, short, medium and long stories - fictional fantasy and otherwise. The writers invite you to travel with them...
