Gorilla is a collection of 5 short stories all with a central animal character: Samson the gorilla entertains children at a zoo; Bambi the goat is to be dinner for 3 Americans in Sinai, Egypt; Wagoo the Tiger gets romantically involved with a British Intelligence operation; a pigeon makes a couple of contributions to a romantic dinner for two and an oyster plays a key role in the final story.
I've been writing since 1984, had my first book published in 1989 and have published another 55 books since then. I write mostly for teenage learners of English but also write a lot of short stories.
