A continuation of the successful ‘Short Story Reinvented’ series, Eight Hours is a dynamic cross between the novel and the short-story, showcasing new writing from eight talented authors. Each story follows a different main character for a single hour. The collection reveals an intriguing mix of powerful snapshots. This is modern-day fiction at its immediate and vigorous best.
My story 5 am Hush Little Baby is the first in the book and depicts a teenage girl who is so tormented that she can not sleep. For more information on my short stories, see Seven Days, the 2007 collection from Legend. There are a series of events planned for March/April 2008 to promote this book.
