Short Comings

By Tessa Woodward

Friends and family, good enough to accept my first offering of short stories, encouraged me by asking for second helpings. So, I put together another collection called 'Short Comings'. The title reflects the fact that the stories are not long and have come to me unbidden; after overhearing conversations on trains, experiencing events, listening to friends or simply daydreaming. ​

The two words in the title, if joined together, indicate fallibility*, which is something I know quite a bit about. So, naturally, the characters in these stories and the stories themselves have imperfections too! I've read some of the stories out loud for the accompanying CD but not all.

* Shortcomings: defects, faults, flaws, imperfections, failings, foibles.
