Publisher Description
Hold on. Not so fast. Just when you think it’s just another day…. An assassin with a unique technique, an almost-was soccer star and a bitter long-forgotten one-hit-wonder pop star are just a few of the random characters who turn up within the stories in this book. Each are loveable in their own different ways and are doing their very best to dodge Lady Luck’s sadistic target practice. Heroes they are not. This all happens within “In All Probability” the first collection of Steve Morris’ diverse short stories. And do they all live happily ever after?... In all probability - probably not! "The themes of destiny, chance and kismet are fascinating ones..." - - - Country and Border Life Book Club June 2009 "A succinct precise style" - - - The Truth About Books July 09 "perfect for a quick read on a coffee break..." - - - "something to entertain even the most ardent of critics..." - - - MMU Success magazine Autumn 09 "readers will be beguiled by Morris's version of an everyday world where probabilities turn out to be different from the ones expected" - - - The Short Review Nov 09
Customer Reviews
Morris's debut bag of tricks
In All Probability was Steve Morris's debut collection of 5 minute stories. Raw but very different and catchy, they can contain his sometimes cynical endings but each is driven by scenarios of some imagination. Well worth a read if you don't want to invest your time into a long novel. I hope Jumble Tales comes out an an iBook as that smoothed out his technique. Best of In All Probability for me was the story All Around Us but other stories are good with tales of football, forgotten pop singers of the past an a clever one about some smelling potion that stirs up the past just a little!
