Six short fiction stories which explore the light and dark sides of summer.

Fatal Error by Lynda Wilcox
After a near-fatal car crash, Ann Nesbitt decides to recuperate in Beachcombe, a place she hasn't visited in twenty years. The village has changed in that time, and so has Ann, but as the memories come rushing back, evoked by the looming bulk of Haddon Head, Ann faces a stark choice and the ghost of her past.

Nineteen Seventy-Steve by David Wailing
Steve’s summer is the best! He’s going to remember it forever. But can you remember anything without becoming part of the memory?

A Royal Mess by Rosen Trevithick
Dee Whittaker and her estranged husband Gareth, are destined to become a crime fighting double act.
However, it’s the calm before the storm. With her marriage still holding together, Dee dips her toes into the world of indie publishing. She joins a forum, unaware that the very people she asks for help, will eventually send her life spiralling out of control, landing her in mortal danger.
She asks for feedback on a blurb for her short story, ‘A Royal Mess’, and finds herself flummoxed by the forum members’ responses. Should she really set her comedy about a royal-wedding-themed-best-dressed competition, in Baghdad during 9-11, or are the other writers completely insane?

Holiday from Hell by Cecilia Peartree
Everyone needs a holiday. But there are some who just can’t leave their day job behind when they go away. Explore the devastating effects this can have in a short story by mystery writer Cecilia Peartree.

The Camping Trip by Daphne Coleridge
A camping story: whilst a dog can be man's best friend, friends can become jealous...

Thirstigo by Lou Wellman
A dysfunctional family take a day trip to a remote nature reserve with a dark history. Will a combination of searing heat, marital tension, paranoia and the supernatural be too hot to handle in this black comedy horror.

Barnacle Boy! We have to find those stolen Naggy Daddies!

Bought my copy too - hot off the virtual press. The cover looks really great on my Kindle. Thanks Lou. Kindle Smile

David - If you do pull on some summer shorts, make sure they are Union Jack ones to match the cover. Wink

Bought it! Should be a good one for our "long week*" in Paris in August, where I'll be playing 'how long can I make a cup of espresso last' in the shade of the awnings of some lazy cafe!

* It's like a long weekend - 3 days - but during the week.

Read it this afternoon in the garden. Some great shorts there. I'm just wondering about where (and who) Rosen got her characters from?! Omg

Golly, that was quick, Susanne. I'm wondering about Rosen's characters, too. I think I know who one is, it's ........
