Likely Stories

Likely Stories is a collection of short pieces of fiction written between 2004 and the present date. The approaches used in some of the pieces, such as Fresh as a Daisy, involve the conjuring up of imagined situations which represent a feeling or an idea. In others, for instance The Necklace, there is a build up to the revelation of a final event which sums up the rest of the story, drawing it to a focal point, often with results that are as disturbing as they are laughable.

Much of the work in this collection aims to shock, and to contravene the accepted codes and standards in British society, but mostly it aims simply to entertain, and above all stimulate thought.
