Skaggs & Other Short Stories – Paperback

A multi-genre selection of short stories, from cosy, through autofiction and speculative, to neurodivergent. No gratuitous violence or unwarranted sexual content, but some stories may not be suitable for young or particularly sensitive readers. A wry humour is rarely far beneath the surface, even when topics contain references to dementia, dysfunctional families, terrorism, sexism and suicide.

A short section of “After Words” offers additional, or alternative, ‘endings’ to certain stories, because “in life, few stories have neat endings. People continue to live, and die, with all sorts of things happening in between.”
