Description:

Here are eighteen short stories set in and around Sydney. We invite you to take a peek at the foibles of human nature through this window of words. The parade of characters passing across these pages includes wives and lovers gone wrong; neatly dressed desperadoes; kooks, cranks and obsessives; healers with hearts of gold; and just normal everyday men and women trying to get on with their lives. The stories all come from the early 90s when the author, under the tutelage of the Sydney Fellowship of Australian Writers, was working hard on plotting and characterisation for short story writing. Fired with a well-grounded imagination, the stories are often rough, quirky, and perhaps a little nutty, but they are a very satisfying read with more than enough surprises to arouse your inner chuckle.
