ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Michael Church:
I am seventy-four years of age and have lived all of it in Norfolk. Much of my life has been blighted by mental illness, which has been a real struggle at times but there has been some good come from it as well.
I have been an avid reader ever since I learnt how to read at school. And through those years, I had harboured thoughts of one day writing a book of my own. But, of course, that 'one day' never materialized, until, that is, I had a boating accident which necessitated three months in hospital and rehab.
During that time, I got fed up reading (Is that even possible?) and my thoughts turned to writing. I have always written, on and off, mainly humorous verse and the occasional short story. I've always enjoyed Roald Dahl's 'Tales of the Unexpected' so I decided to try and write one of my own.
I thoroughly enjoyed the process of plotting and planning and working out the twist. I was very pleased with the end result, which turned out to be better than I had hoped. This inspired me to carry on writing more stories, and before I knew it, I had enough for a book.
Short stories are ideal for those who feel daunted by the thought of reading a full-length novel. You can dip in and out of it, reading one complete story in a sitting. This means you don't have to try and remember who is who every time you pick up the book.
When I can, I'm still writing short stories but it is getting harder to come up with a twist. I also write monologues, comedy sketches and a sit-com. I have, as well, a full-length novel on the go.
