Three Short Bursts

Three short stories by the author of SAXON’S BANE, including the award-winning MUSE:


MUSE: A powerful, emotionally charged story where old lady teaches a young pianist the true, evocative power of music. Winner of the ‘Get Writing’ Prize 2011.


THE OTHER WOMAN: In this light-hearted and amusing tale, a sailor becomes obsessed with restoring a vintage sailboat, which seems to have a character and a mind of its own.


SHORT BURSTS: The poignant story of an elderly veteran confronting his demons in an old people’s home.


Also included are sample chapters of Geoffrey Gudgion’s acclaimed novel SAXON’S BANE.


About the author:

Geoffrey Gudgion was the scholarship boy who was never bright enough to realise he’d have been happier as a writer than a businessman. Until, that is, he had a spectacular row with his boss and stepped off the corporate ladder. Long before that epiphany, he left school at 17 to join the Royal Navy, and was later sponsored by the RN to read Geography at Cambridge University. Gudgion writes contemporary fiction that is grounded in the past. His debut novel, SAXON’S BANE, is a thriller with a supernatural twist, and blends a present-day archaeological excavation with an Anglo-Saxon legend.
