About the author
Harry Hunter
8 books2 followersHarry Hunter is the pen name of a retired academic who lives in Ayrshire, Scotland. Most of his writing has a spiritual flavour to them.
Harry's first collection of short stories - Taking the High Road - takes place in the fictitious coastal village of Kilfinnan on the West Coast of Scotland. It centres on Sam and Penny Waite, leading members of the local Episcopal church, who have recently re-located from the English Midlands. Although a collection of 'fiction shorts', there is an cohesive 'arc' to the narrative.
Having experimented with a variety of formats, Harry discovered that many readers really liked his 'acrostic' poems - so in 2017 he published a collection of these called 'Orrible 'Ooligans.
Details of these books and more - including many short pieces which can be freely used for church magazines - can be found at Harry's website:

My friend, Harry Hunter, kindly gave me a copy of his new book, 'Orrible 'Ooligans, and it seemed only right to prepare a review, but as ever, it is an honest review. Harry's first book, Taking the High Road, a book of short stories, is also reviewed on this site at https://bookreviewstoday.info/2014/10....
The new book, 'Orrible 'Ooligans, cleverly takes the idea of acrostics and uses that to unite a series of spiritual and meaningful reflections. It is an interesting book to keep close. It is also useful for those who require to provide prayers or spritual thoughts for meetings. Those might include scout leaders, Women's Institute leaders and religious leaders. Many of the themes are Christian.
I enjoy delving into this modest little book. It is a most worthwhile addition to my library.
