Festive clearance
March 19th, 2018
With a highly unusual festive season looming under lock-down here’s a key to unlock it a bit. I’ve still got a few copies left of my collection of short fiction The Uses of ‘a’ – and other stories. Also of A Long Run in Short Shorts , a collection of my own personal tales.
My hope is to sell them off in a little festive clearance sale.
If you’ve already read them, you might like to consider giving them as lock-down stocking fillers to family or friends. If they’re new to you, here’s an opportunity to enjoy for yourself books which drew some lovely comments and reviews.
On The Uses of ‘a’ – and other stories:
‘The whole collection has kaleidoscopic variety and tremendous energy.’ John Pole, singer-songwriter, in Facts and Fiction magazine.
‘Your stories are so beautifully written and so deliciously enigmatic and so wise too.’ Margaret Jull Costa, translator of Javier Marías and José Saramago.
On A Long Run in Short Shorts:
‘A delight. It reflects a mind that’s observant, inquisitive and alert to new discoveries, and a vivid, warm personality grateful for those small, simple pleasures that brighten our — if we know how to appreciate them.” ~ Valerie Grove, journalist and author.
‘I’m savouring each story – just like unwrapping another Christmas chocolate – I’ll just have one more’. Hilary Minns, University of Warwick.
Each book now costs £6 (down from £9.50 and £8.50 respectively) or you can get both for £11. If you would like copies, please go to www.paypal.me/StoryworksPress and add £1.80 p&p for the UK – it’s the same for one or both books.
Just email me: mary.medlicott@storyworks.org.uk , to tell me if you’d like dedications.
Crisis , the charity for homeless people, will receive £1.00 for every copy sold.
