Adventure. Life. Love.
Fun, feisty, tender and wry: a glittering collection of short stories.

Original and entertaining: stories that evoke dreams, touch the heart and mind.
Collected together for the first time, these stories have been published in magazines and anthologies across the world.

Introduction to Dynamite.
Short stories seem like a spotlight in a cavernous room; ignoring the frame and furnishings of the room but homing in on a forgotten letter, a dusty photograph, a chair by the window, a packed bag or a still body on a bed. The surroundings fade into the background as the mini-world of the story begins to expand, take colour and consequence, fill with noise and action, impel its protagonists through the eye of a needle – transforming, changing or fulfilling them.
Short stories are like drops of water reflecting the ocean they come from: echoing all the genres and themes, excitements and tragedies, doubts and truths the heaviest tomes explore and present.
‘To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.’
From: ‘To See a World’ by William Blake.
