Come and meet characters such as Bacchus, Mr. Horatio Bubbles, Stinky Jack, and many more besides. This book contains fifty-five intriguing stories, ranging from dark to light-hearted and from science fiction to mythology. They all have one thing in common, namely that each tale germinated through my association with three creative writing groups over the past year and a half, connections I found to be both nurturing and fruitful.
