P.A. Priddey has been an avid reader most of his life. Although he will read most books his favourite genre is fantasy. The story of Vesta Mansion evolved three years ago when an idea kept returning. A story which grew into a trilogy of over 400 thousand words.

The epic fantasy series, set in modern-day United Kingdom, starts off with The Power Inside. Alex Aylward, a single man with no children, has to find friends to save and protect his daughters. Many join him as secrets which have been hidden for thousands of years are revealed, along with creatures thought of as myths.

An Experiment in Emotions is exactly that, an experiment. Can a reader care about characters in a short story? It contains ten short stories to test different emotions.

One of the reasons for the book was to see if a reader could care enough about a character in a short story. In the first story I wanted to see if Becky would be hated in part one only for it to change in part two. The other reason came from a book I read where the MC was being cheated on by his wife. There was a confrontation, but I wanted more.(less)

Do you see this experiment lending weight to another novel in the same guise? I'm a sucker for compromised characters in a story, it gives the whole thing a complete edge.

I wanted to see if readers would care about characters in a short story. As to your question, there's always a chance I may come back to one of the shorts I wrote.
