The Truth About Books - In all Probability by Steve Morris

-


Read the review of the book 'In all Probability' by The Truth About Books.

Hold on. Not so fast. Just when you think it’s just another day….


An assassin with a unique technique, an almost-was soccer star and a bitter long-forgotten one-hit-wonder pop star are just a few of the random characters who turn up within the stories in this book. Each are loveable in their own different ways and are doing their very best to dodge Lady Luck’s sadistic target practice. Heroes they are not. This all happens within “In All Probability” the first collection of Steve Morris’s diverse short stories.

And do they all live happily ever after? In all probability- probably not.

    "In All Probability" was published in 2009 to great critical appeal.
    The Press have been kind.
    Feel free to Google the reviews. It was particularly rewarding to see it reviewed recently alongside titles published by Penguin & etc. Read the MMU "Success" magazine review to see how it stood up in the Premier League

    A TV celebrity has written to me to say how much they enjoyed the stories.

    Work is now underway on a second impression with a few small changes.

    I hope that in early in 2010, a companion book to "In All Probability" (as yet with a carefully wrapped title) will be released.
    I hope to build on the reception of Probability and included (by request) longer stories.
    Maybe some of the diverse characters of Probability will make a re-appearance. Probably.


    Recently a new short story called "Just One Big Game" was chosen for a new armed forces charity book called "Stories of the Poppies". It will be launched in January by Patron Dame Vera Lynn. I hope to meet forces' sweetheart Dame Vera at the event.

    Steve,

    Just thought I would let you know I've completed "In all Probability". I enjoyed quite a few of the stories and will be sure to leave you a review on Amazon. Thanks for making my train journeys to the capital a little less boring.

    Best Regards

    John.

    That will be great, John. Much appreciated. I remember those train journeys well from my days there. However, I miss them in some ways because it was a good opportunity to get some reading done.

Earning a Crust - Logic doesn’t come into it

Fascinating and engaging autobiography of career after Royal Air Force service. By Derek Rosser The author’s literary efforts covering his experiences as a National Serviceman in the RAF in the 1950s (A Reluctant Recruit) generated such a favourable reception, so much so that he embarked on a second, more or less true, account of his life as a typical boy growing up in the thirties and forties (Call Me Valentine). This is his third book, completing the trilogy. It is the account of what happened to him after leaving the Royal Air Force; it is the story of a long, and mainly happy, interesting working career. The author Derek Rosser says: “For the best part of forty years I was engaged in trying to earn enough money to keep body and soul together. Some of it was enjoyable, some of it was frustrating and some of it was downright misery….” …Find out more… ‘Earning a Crust’, an entertaining read! “A fascinating autobiography” …publishedbestsellers.com
