The Girl Who Painted Sunsets (and eight more)

By Walter Otton

ONE: In the City on a bridge over the river, the loud cry of a florist selling tulips from Amsterdam can be heard above the noise of the rush hour traffic. TWO: Susan sits in a sunny garden after a hike and reflects on how the chalk pits looked like the dazzling wings of an angel. THREE: Grief has pushed Percy William Wainwright's OCD up a level or three, and he can't remember if he flicked the bathroom light off then on then off again. FOUR: The girl who painted sunsets, painted sunsets. FIVE: Finances aren't a problem for the two sisters. A taxi is taking them to the airport. They each have a credit card, their passports, and their phones. Where would you fly? They're going to Istanbul; and so is Jeremy. SIX: Talitha is on the dawn shore at Lake Tiberias planning to go fishing. SEVEN: Who will take Rum Punch home - the retired Agatha or the teenage waitress Emma? EIGHT: PATMOS - coincidence, destiny, a mezzanine floor, morning glory flowers, a Greek island, a delirious train journey to Coventry and a few shots of a hallucinogenic spirit. NINE: It's Stage One of the South Downs Way, starting at Winchester. Hike with Walts and Murphy as they take an immediate wrong turn and unintentionally detour through fields of detectorists.

"I love these stories. They're intriguing, engaging and clever with strong, diverse and unpredictable twists."
Tim Rolls, author of Diamonds, Dynamos & Devils and several more.
