A Treasury of Diverse Tales

By Sherrie Lowe

A collection of twelve short stories. The first two are ideas that an author character, Celia Wainwright, had in the novel Not Reported Missing. The first line of story number one, Sinister Kisses, came to Celia on a romantic break to Guernsey, Channel Islands during a stroll along the beach. Story number two, Before the Poppies, came from a novel of Celia’s which had been adapted for the screen. This story also has an autobiographical element of mine as the author; an ancestor was badly gassed during WWI. I thought he deserved a tribute. The main character’s name, Lily, was my mother’s name.
Other stories include lost loves, found loves, a couple of seasonal Christmas stories, one amusing, the other with a touch of poignancy.
All short, coffee time reads.
