A Twist in the Tale
This collection of 11 short stories covers murder, deception, betrayal and greed.
An innocent man is on trial, accused of killing his wife. Will the jury find him not guilty or will he go to jail for a crime he didn’t commit?
When a prince sets his sights on a neighbouring kingdom, he must win a tournament to marry the princess and claim the throne. Does he have the skills to beat the other competitors or will his true intentions be found out before he even reaches the final?
When Hanna’s best friend is accused of grooming and arranging underage sex parties, she stands by him. Convinced of his innocence, despite a guilty verdict, her loyalty doesn’t waiver. So why does one of his victims accuse her of not only of knowing about what went on, but of taking part, and why does he sound so convincing when he has to be lying?
When Rose is told she is the only person who can save her town, can she be the hero the townsfolk need her to be? And how can she kill a dragon when everyone knows dragons don’t exist?
While Detective Byron Nash searches for a kidnapped girl, his wife is hunting down a serial killer. Will either of them find their suspect before there’s another death?
This collection of short stories answers these questions, as well as many more, and the tales have one thing in a twist before the end.

A page-turning collection of short stories
Every short story in this collection is like a little time bomb stuffed with mystery. The building suspense held this reader’s attention like a strong rope of twisted threads, exploding with a surprise ending. The very first one—An Innocent Man—made me open my mouth and stop breathing for a long, very long moment as I reached the end, so astounding it was. There are eleven of them, everyone is unique. You may think you have an idea how the story will end, but in my case, it always was a WOW! moment. And . . . each of the short stories is not for entertainment only: they carry a lesson. I immersed myself in every one. Some are dealing with subjects familiar to modern readers, others are imaginary. What a vision the writer must have to construct all these tales! But perhaps we learned to believe somwthing couldn’t be real, even though it exists? It’s up to you to find it out for yourself. Daunting twists. The author’s compelling prose. I wanted to read quickly to get to the next story but restrained myself: every episode needed to be processed, enjoyed in full, every character explored—they were alive for me, vivid in their beauty . . . or evilness. I sometimes caught myself on my heart pounding. Often to reach the ending was the most desired feeling. All in all, this is an enjoyable and exciting read, and I have no hesitation in recommending it. I found this book to be so special. Kudos to the author!
