Moments in Time-a collection of short stories
At 12.51 pm on the 22nd of February 2011, Christchurch City, New Zealand rocked to a 6.3 Richter scale earthquake. This violent shaking came as an unwanted lunch-time surprise to workers, reducing much of the central business area to a pile of rubble.
I was nearby when the six-storey Canterbury Television Building collapsed entombing 113 occupants. That day people died, businesses collapsed and over 10,000 homes were destroyed. This was mother earth's death-blow. I capture these moments in some of my short stories. Other stories are built around experiences in New Zealand, England, Scotland, Australia, Zambia, Thailand and Switzerland and are largely humorous with surprise twists.
In writing, my stories involve countries in which I have spent time. As an example, in Zambia I spent 6 weeks doing voluntary work. My second book due to be published in September will include stories in New Zealand, Australia, England, France, Italy, China and Japan.
