Ready, Steady, Go is a collection of ten diverse short stories. The stories are flavoured with love, queer love, loss, the gentleness and fragility of human connections, odd encounters that change lives and good hair days. Characters come to life in many guises: an aging agony aunt seeking to help one last person before it’s too late, a young woman who juggles raw eggs searching for solace from her past, a woman craving for her father’s forgiveness, an introverted shop assistant trying to understand love, a love story set in space and a want to be mermaid. A recurring theme that weaves through many of these short glimpses of storytelling involves the importance of keeping an open heart, forgiveness, of letting go, being accepted and not putting off living. So get ready, steady and go.
