Extended description

This book comprises the 31 short stories / flash fiction, together with the daily prompts given during May 2011 from the Story A Day website as well as comments from the author.
Characters include the heart-tugging ‘Threadbare Girl’ (who we meet early on then conclude with), a blue-blooded couple with a rocking horse, husbands and wives seeking revenge, an alien on a blind date, a grandfather afraid of heights, two historical figures, a young girl with a very vivid imagination, a mother’s desperate hospital visit and others portraying random acts of kindness. We have the Bermuda Triangle, the Wild West and more than one shaggy dog story. From Chelsea buns to casseroles we share highs and lows but they all go to show what can be done with a prompt, a few hours and a colourful imagination.

Review by: Verica Peacock on April 30, 2012 :
Although I only downloaded this book yesterday, I have read most of the stories last night and was very impressed with the contents. Morgen Bailey is obviously a very talented writer, with a very vivid imagination and an excellent use of language. Including the daily prompts for each story certainly adds to the enjoyment of the book, as I will probably also try to write my own set of stories using the same prompts. If I wasn't so busy at the moment completing unfinished work, I would probably have tried to do this year's May challenge, but maybe next year . . .
