From the 2nd of March to the 8th Smashwords.com have 'Blokes Muddling Through' as a free book.

Please do download it for this group read.


My other books will be going for free too in a special promotion. May I apologise for the 'Jacob's Ladder' version which I can't pull to correct until after the promotion. A very sharp eyed reader spotted some copy edit howlers in the first chapters which my copy editor ( a well paid pro) left in!!!!) I know I should have seen them too but it is very hard in your own book which is why Writer's Choice always pay for pro copy editors! Not that one again though!

Oops! Forgot to give you the free coupon code for the book.
The code is RW100

Yes, American dates, a day behind. Had lots of the Writer's Choice Shorts downloaded and a few of Jacob's Ladder so I hope readers who had their freebie can find it in them to remember it was free and write a review.

Seems short stories are increasing in popularity again.

'Fred's Wall' sold its 1st rights to every country! I don't think it met an editor who didn't like it. He always made me laugh.

'Bobby Calf Pen' is a 1st POV and so you only hear his name near the end from his wife. James it is. Poor bloke! Did you laugh about the confusion? I always find it hard to write humour but James was such a well meaning bloke who never got it right but is trying to learn now.

Thank you for commenting.

One of my favourite editors always asked me for grumpy old men stories. Alas I have lost half of them on floppy discs which won't open but I am glad Love of the Land survived. Wait 'til you read that one!!!!

An interesting and entertaining collection of short stories.

Each of the six stories had very different themes and characters. Each story had a different twist with ending of the last story, Greek Olives, taking me by surprise. each story evoked different emotions ranging from outright laughter to a 'lump in the throat'.

I'm not sure I had a favourite, but if I was pushed I would most likely choose Frogs and Lambs.

Great storytelling.

Thank you.

I have been so grateful for the digital revolution and epublishing because these stories all had their moment of glory in a competition and/or literary journals back in the '90s, but then they're gone.

Being able to put them together in an ebook has given them life again with new readers and I am pleased you kind supporters of Indie writers enjoyed them too.
