Liam Leddy Tales
Before I began writing the Lassiter series comprising Body Language, Bad Form and Body Art I wrote many short stories. Many of these are included in the Tales Collections. I write what I like to read. Good, gripping short stories full of twists with a last totally unforeseen one right at the end! Enjoy reading my Tales series as much as I enjoyed writing them and you will never regret having bought them. They really will remain in your memory long after reading them. You will also return to them again and again just in case you missed one of the twists. You will invariably find out you did. There are many of them in these individual little gems
