Yep, a new short story collection from yours truly!
It has been almost exactly a year since i last published a fiction title, Balancing Act, to the wider world which just goes to show how bad my muse had it in 2024! Today i've put that right, don't get too excited, its not a huge volume but rather its an anthology of short pieces i've written over the last five years or so, here's the blurb:
This collection of seven short tales are all loosely based on episodes from my own life over the last few years. Of course I’ve changed names and locations, adapted situations to make things less bland to read. Each represents a significant point in what, I’ll admit, has been a difficult few years for me both mentally and financially.
The reason for bringing all of these tales together like this is that they don’t really fit in with my other fiction writings. Indeed, each of these was written in response to emotions that I couldn’t lock away and needed an outlet, despair, loss, fear. Each tale was written quickly, the very act of writing a cathartic act in itself.
I would like to think that I’m past the need for these outpourings but never say never right? I hope you enjoy reading these stories and that you will forgive the slightly quirky styles within.
By the time you read this the Kindle version should be available with a print version available very soon. They are both priced the same, a quirk of the lower page count so if you like real dead tree reading, this time there is no excuse!
So pop on over now and secure your copy of Maddy's Musings today!

That sure sounds familiar!
