A collection of short stories from 1974 until 2026.
Capturing the progress on the path from chasing my tail in school, writing essays, and eagerly waiting to receive the elusive gold star, to having my novels published. The topics are reflective of different stages and experiences in life. Some are based on fact and others are created by my imagination.
The images of my essays reflect a different era where there were no laptops in schools and lined exercise books were used to document stories. My handwriting is like hieroglyphics in part so I hope you can catch the gist of the plot. The grades and corrections by the teachers are shown in the extracts from my school book which was my early introduction to editing and proof reading.
Throughout the decades the choice of words may appear to be inappropriate amidst our complex world of contradictions however they are integral to each character.
I hope you enjoy the feline theme on the front cover. Cats are intuitive and can comfort and cause concern in equal measure which is reflective of relationships.
Enjoy your trail through Ailouros Wood: an eclectic mix of trees with deep roots and dramatic flora.
