Readers are invited to explore 'Seven Roads to Travel' in this new short story collection Owen Trevor Smith presents a collection of refreshingly different journeys to unexpected places. Incidents, situations and circumstances that are somehow out of the ordinary, or invoke a 'what if...' reaction have inspired author Owen Trevor Smith to lead Readers down Seven Roads to Travel, to witness unusual and quirky events and experience tales of the unexpected, in the company of adventurers, ranch-hands and gamblers, deftly mixing the ordinary with the extraordinary. Diversity is the theme. These stories are deliberately different in genre, style and subject matter and invite the reader in each case to take a journey heading somewhere completely new. In The Singer an old man recounts the memory of a golden moment amidst the chaos of war while Chances follows an adventurer experiencing the extremes of dark despair and wild elation adrift in a raw South American city. Readers will share the experience of a desperate gambler who finds luck has more than one form in Luck is a Lady Tonight. They ride with The Man from Mexico where a western ranch-hand shares the challenges of high country life with a mysterious companion and a hoard of old Mexican gold. A Smart Fish Story rows them onto a lake in New Zealand where a simple fisherman hooks a smart fish that is more than he can handle. Next they are treated to The Tonic with a young couple who obtain a bottle of quack tonic that seems to live up to its wildest claims. Finally, to round off the journey, Readers can relax and meet Boss - a grandfather whose enjoyment of a visit to the family fishing hole is coloured by memories from the trenches of the Great War.
