About the author
G.D. Maher
2 books42 followersG. D. Maher, is the pen name of new author, Emma Caswell.
As many authors before have said, she maintains that reading is for everyone, and anyone who says they don't like to read, simply hasn't found a book that speaks to them.
Tiny Tales Volume One, is the first in a new series of tantalising titbits covering a broad spectrum of topics and genres, and as each takes only a minute to read, there truly is something for everyone, no matter how little time there is.
Adamant from her teens that she was going to be a high-flying corporate lawyer, a Bachelors degree in Law was obtained from the University of West of England, Bristol. This was not meant to be however, as she found her creativity choked to within an inch of its life.
Going from a world where words were used like food on a buffet; excessively and unnecessarily, to one where individual words mattered, was certainly a challenge, but a welcome one.
She has a fondness for tea in all its forms, as should any self-respecting creative.
When not trying to cram her thoughts into one paragraph, she loves puzzles, crafting, comedy and coastal walks (as well as a fair amount of alliteration!)
She lives and works out of her adopted home in Sydney, Australia with her husband.

November 13, 2020I'm not a reader of short stories, preferring novels, but I do have a fondness for microfiction of 50-100 words. 50 words is around tweet-sized, while a 100-word story is a drabble.
This collection of drabbles was a lot of fun to read, with stories ranging from quirky to horrifying to (more rarely) touching. If you binge-read the whole collection in one sitting, you might find that some of the twists in the tale have a familiar feel to them. However, each story reads as a complete little work of art on its own.
A great introduction to the world of microfiction.
