Twelve short stories - one for each month. The year is measured out in familiar festivals. All the stories are set in Scotland - but not in an overly parochial way! Two of the stories appeared in a previous anthology (Fistful of Rain - now withdrawn) - and another "A Glasgow New Year" was previously available as a standalone short story (also now withdrawn)

Smashwords book reviews by Alistair Shand

  • Quickie Guide to Formatting Your Book for Smashwords on May 19, 2016

    An excellent concise guide - I'd recommend to anyone contemplating publishing on Smashwords - and experienced self publishers too as a check list.
  • Poetry Intention on Oct. 24, 2016

    A very interesting collection - deals with many of the issues and traumas of everyday life. Read it - you wont regret it!
  • Mrs Miller on Oct. 31, 2016

    A good short story. Very minimal - but effective
  • Watch Your Back on Dec. 12, 2016

    A very enjoyable story set in an interesting period of history.I would heartily recommend it! It illustrates well one of the themes I have noticed in recent history books I have read about the period - there are great similarities and great differences between us and the Romans (and by extension the characters in this novel) - we share a love of home and family - but not arbitrary justice! So. please, read this book! You will enjoy it!
