Déjà Vu: a Shropshire tale of love, death and marrows
Gabriel runs his emporium of collectable books more for love than money, kept afloat by the support of locals, the odd tourist and the wonderfully alluring Magda, a Romani immigrant with a difficult past. Yet even in this quiet rural backwater, with its eccentric villagers, allotments and little shops, the world can still assert itself. It comes in the shape of Izydor, a large and dangerous newcomer who sees there’s profit to be made at the expense of the gentle, unassuming bookseller.
An affectionate modern fairy tale about the eccentricities of rural villages, the British love of books, the possibilities of love, and marrows.
This is author J.D. Richardson’s debut published short story single prior to the release of her collection ‘a Shadowed Perspective.’
‘Déjà Vu is a tale loved during storytelling sessions yet so far does not fit any of my collections. I hope readers enjoy Gabriel’s world as much as others have.’ (Author J.D. Richardson) With special thanks to Nik Perring who helped with editing.

I might be a little biased about this one!
I was gratified by one person who commented that it was a great length for reading before bed and that she gave it a thumbs-up for feel-good factor.
My other stories are not necessarily so benign, but occasionally I go for the cosy factor, the same as in my reading matter. Sometimes, we just need to lose ourselves in something lighter.
Some stories take us to places we're happy to visit and revisit and that we feel comfortable in, others challenge us, make us uncomfortable, stretch our souls. That's the great thing about stories, they can take us to so many different places, tailored to our every need.
