'Ten Stories' is a short story collection set in the crime and mystery genres - some light, some dark, some with a dash of comedy.
The book opens with Malcolm Pentor, who quickly realises that the odds of him landing the analyst role are virtually zero. Hundreds of candidates have applied, including his high school friend. When they are told to be on standby in the foyer for the next six hours, they know that even going to the toilet could mean not being called for the interview. His problem is, he needs to go.
Interview - Malcolm Pentor, has no chance of getting the job. Library - Clive starts at a new job; one he can never leave again alive. Politician - A new lawmaker makes an enemy out of his closest supporter. Toilet - A sloppy toilet cleaner gets into a sticky situation. Gallery - Samantha wants to leave her job, but her boss won't let her. Restaurant - A couple dine at the latest venue and clash with the staff. Nessie - Tim knows where to find it, but criminals have other ideas. Foxes - Two sisters are outnumbered and locked out by their sister. Tree - Connie, 10, orphaned, is sent to live on a farm. Dinner - Grandmother, 87, wants to live alone and throws her family out.
