This is my collection of forty short mystery and ghosts stories, covering a wide variety of subject matter. All are fiction and many have a quirky twist in the tail. All are suitable for reading on a coach, a boat, a plane or a train journey. In fact with modern lives running at such a fast pace, they are intended for commuters everywhere. Many of us have no time to do justice to a deeply plotted, full length novel and so these short stories fit into the category of a ten-minute tale, ideally to be read indoors on a foggy night or to take with you for a light read on a summer holiday. If you enjoy the unusual and unexpected then these brief cameos may delight and surprise you, they may even raise a smile or two as you journey through life's tortuous highway.
