Beyond the Shadows: A Collection of Short Stories

Thirty short stories in three parts, many of the stories true or based on fact, cover macabre, humorous, philosophical, thought-provoking and tender subjects. Settings are in Switzerland, England, Australia and New Zealand. 'The Singing Tree' explores the mind and reasoning of a mentally-disturbed and extremely dangerous youth, and at the opposite and best end of the range of human emotions is, for example, 'Talking Funny'. This story gently tells of the 'electronic' generation gap between a loving grandfather and his grandson, and other stories are for the romantically inclined and/or those with a keen sense of the ridiculous.
