In ‘Serendipity’ there is something for everyone. If your taste is humour there are plenty including ‘It’s No Laughing Matter’, ‘Stop! …Don’t Go Any Further’. There are slices of real life in ‘Arthur’, ‘Lanky Franky’, ‘Death of the Hindenburg’ and ‘My Only Sunshine’. There is satire and irreligious ones–written without any malice. In the animal stories ‘The Dog’, ‘The Gulls’ Court’ and ‘The Camel’ the author gives himself full rein and enjoyed exercising anthropomorphism. In short ‘Serendipity’ is the word - take a dip and find your winner. Author John Butler says  “In this miscellany of fifty or more stories runs the gamut from humour, drama, satire, farce and fantasy to contemplative thinking, mystery and the supernatural. Serendipity embraces all the human emotions. Enjoy it! ”  John Butler is a retired head teacher and lecturer, he has spent forty years in education. For many years he has taught creative writing to adult groups. Being an avid reader of short stories, the au

Harley House By  Fred Maddox   Assume Nothing! Peter Grice was your average kind of guy, an ordinary man, down-to-earth, simple and certainly not superstitious. He was a sceptic and dismissed stories of ghosts, ghouls and little men from Mars as nonsense–a figment of the imagination. He disregarded stories of the supernatural, and scoffed at people who related such tales. This was until he moved to a new town and met Greg and his three friends in Harley House. The sequence of events which followed his encounter with them would shake his view of the world to the core and when he meets the ‘operator’ – his perception of the life is dramatically altered forever. . ..

Bringing you exclusive interviews with authors featured in the Book Savvy Newsletter. Our Guest is Fred Maddox * Enjoy the interview. Q1. Can you tell us a little about yourself and your book 'A Genuine Fake?' I had been around the motor car business since leaving school until early retirement. I initially started as an apprentice mechanic at a large Rover dealer and then filtered into the spares side of the industry working for a national chain of wholesalers progressing to regional manager.   A Genuine Fake is a story of how a young lady struggles with her antiques business against what she sees as unfair competition. She is introduced to a plan which turns her business around, but having achieved success she becomes engulfed with greed and wants more. She resorts to underhand and illegal tactics to achieve this. As with most greedy people though, fate is always ready to take a hand. Q2. Why did you decide to begin writing? What sparked the desire to pen your firs

A magical and spellbinding children’s fantasy adventure By Marcia Andrade Felwitt is a place like no other; battered by heavy snow, covered by dark clouds, and completely isolated from the rest of the world, as a result of a curse that has fallen upon it. The dramatic events that have led to this are kept secretly hidden away. Despite the terrible ordeal imposed upon the villagers, they have learned, over centuries, how to survive thanks to their remarkable resilience and, most of all, their mysterious and precious gold. Felwitt, however, is not a community free from problems, in particular when it comes to its most notorious teenager, Gustav Grubbin, known as Gust. Ironically, after an unexpected encounter with the village tramp, he is the one determined to find out the truth behind the village’s bizarre weather conditions. What Gust discovers turns out to be more than he was bargaining for… …Find out more… “A spellbinding story of friendship, heroism and redemption” …publishe

A superbly written fantasy fiction novel with beautifully crafted characters ‘Beauty is only skin deep, it’s what’s inside a person that counts,’ very nice sentiments, but does anyone actually believe these little pearls of wisdom?

From birth, Joss had been a figure of fun; for years he had endured this bad behaviour because he was lonely and wanted to be part of the community… Then one day he found an abandoned vintage car which he re-built. As he was to discover, this was no ordinary car. Whilst out on a road test one day, it whisked him away to a mysterious place which would change his life forever. …Find out more… “Fantasy fiction with a beautiful twist” …publishedbestsellers.com Genre: Fiction: Fantasy ISBN: 978-1-907728-32-7 Publication Date: November 2011 Edition/Format: 1st/ Pa
