Charlie's World
Meet young Charlie Harper, a lively and confident chatterbox. The whole world fascinates him - he soaks up information like a sponge and never, ever, seems to forget anything he's been told… but sometimes his words get a bit mixed up!

Most things in Charlie's world are 'tremendously excellent' and 'brilliant' - including the love of his life, 'his darling' Daisy Pollock whom he plans to marry when they are twenty-four. 'Tremendously cool' are his parents, Tessa and Martin - they share a talent for answering Charlie's most embarrassing questions with uncomplicated ease. Younger twin sisters, Beth and Georgia, and baby brother Sam will complete the most endearing family.

Originally commissioned by My Weekly, this appealing selection from a series of stories makes compulsive reading. Charlie's charm, irresistible sense of humour and innocent perception will warm anyone's heart!

The Mannequin from Brighton
The Mannequin from Brighton… is a collection of engaging short stories, ranging in tone from the erotic to the quirky, that examines aspects of people’s lives within very disparate societies.
From the tale of a Jewish social worker who helps underprivileged Jewish immigrants from North Africa but loses the respect of his own kin, to the story of a successful lawyer blighted by his conscience, and the man with an unhealthy fixation on the perfect female form, these are perceptive and sensitive portraits of humanity and its foibles.

Clown of Tears
Clown of Tears is a collection of richly imaginative short stories that deal with very different times, places and characters, but are linked by the common themes of death and the belief that it is just a phase of life, rather than its end.
Ranging from the poignantly autobiographical to a dark tale of passion and revenge with a supernatural undercurrent, the stories explore the blurred dimension outside of most human experience that is not quite this world or the next.

Dreams and Shadows
Dreams and Shadows is a skilfully crafted collection of tales that weave their way through the spectral world that lies just beyond this one, somewhere between life and death, consciousness and the subliminal.

From the dream home whose occupant must fulfil a very special contractual clause, to the ‘stalker’ with an unusual agenda, and the aging George, who rebels against the woman in his life, these stories will touch the reader’s emotions with their sensitive, sometimes humorous take on unsettling themes and inventive, often shocking endings, causing just the faintest prickling of hairs at the back of the neck…
