I've been so busy writing short stories I've neglected 'promoing' (is that a word? It is now) 😀 my second published book ABC Destiny by Voinks. Available on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/ABC-Destiny-Voinks/dp/1784556963 Trying to think how to describe what my book is about I saw this brilliant review.

The Rhunicorn
A recent article about the Rhinoceros possibly being the original ancestor of the Unicorn reminded me of this story I wrote a few months ago. It originated when I was discussing the Rhino with two fellow authors, Riley J Froud and Jo Roderick, and somehow we got onto the subject of Unicorns. Perhaps we weren't …
Sweet Revenge
A fellow writer posted a short piece about a five year old being bullied because of her ugly Dollie. It inspired me to write this follow up. Without friends to play with I concentrated on paying attention to my lessons, and spent most of my spare time in the library. This made me even more …

Ch-Ch Changes

Available on Amazon Changes-Voinks 1848972997 Although my book is not connected to David, I did know him quite well in my late teens and early twenties when he was first struggling …
Scarves for Dogs
A change from my normal short story format. Naughty warning-Adults only. 😀 This is dedicated to a friend who inadvertently found herself in a similar position. Every Christmas without fail Aunty Emily gave me a scarf. Don’t get me wrong, I love scarves but there are only so many you can wear at any one time. …
