Short Stories

I love writing short stories and I am busy compiling a collection called, And When Will You Be Leaving?

The cover art is from an enamel painting by my sister Regina Cullen

I am also compiling second anthology of short stories with an historical flavour, No Room to Dance & Other Stories.

One potential cover idea …
