Format:Paperback
100 stories for queensland was created to raise funds for the victims opf the queensland floods. Short story writers from all over the world were invited to submit short pieces and I did so because I have friends in Queensland.
The result is a well edited beautifully produced book with stories of about two and a half pages with a variety of themes and genres. The way it is presented tempts a busy reader to just read one more before putting the book down.

A treasure trove of tales
21 May 2011
Format:Paperback
I've really enjoyed the stories in "100 Stores for Queensland". funny, uplifting, optimistic and thought-provoking... There's something for every taste. The stories are all quite short, too, which means you can pick up the book, read a story or two, and feel like you've discovered something new; very satisfying when you don't have time to sit down and dedicate an hour to reading. Because the stories are diverse and positive, I think this book would make a great gift.

"!00 Stories for Queensland" a reader's package of decidedly delectable dips
6 Jun 2011
Format:Paperback
This collection is a remarkable assortment of stories across numerous genres with something to suit, no matter what your tastes, age, or background. The stories have been drawn from around the world and all over Australia. A smorgasbord and it is all for a very good cause, helping Queensland's flood victims rebuild their shattered lives.
Whether you are an animal lover [try "Kittens!" by Sam Adamson] or you want a belly-laugh of a read [try "Why Can't I take Life Easier?" by Keith Havers], something multicultural ["Cake" by Lunar Hine or "Burka" by Sylvia Petter], a story of unrequited love with a twist ["Her Smile", Emma Newman], SciFi adventure ["Transmutator" by Devin Watson or "Drake M. Causeway" by Tomara Armstrong], a tale for the nature lover ["The Speaking Tree" by Alan Baxter or "The Miracle Tree" by E.N. De Choudens], or something a bit trippily surreal and poignant at the same time ["Surviving the Kitchen Tiles" by Jessica Bell], it is all there. All collected together for you to dip into at your pleasure, whatever you mood, there will be a read for you!
And there is, as the adman says, MORE! At the end of the volume is a collection of 17 bonus stories, including the novel in miniature "Summer at the Sugar Palace" by Tanya Bell, the boy's own adventure of "The Quest" by Trevor Belshaw, "Clutch" a cruise ship romance with a difference by Jodi Cleghorn, my own tragi-comic "Her Ladyship Awaits..." under my other persona, J.R.McRae, and the uplifting and delightful "Smile" by Stacey Larner.
Short story collections have gained a new impetus with the advent of e-books, i-pads and Apps. A short story is the ideal way to indulge your reading passion on the move, waiting for a bus, train, plane or lift. They are the ideal online read during coffee-break or welcome diversion whilst whiling away time because your partner, lover, friend or colleague is late.
If you know someone going on a cruise or a long journey or a reader with eclectic tastes, this is the perfect present! It is like a box or Haigh's assorted chocs, you just can't wait to dip in! Do yourself a flavour! BUY IT!
