I've got another book coming out in October 2008 with Accent Press called, How to Write and Sell Short Stories

Have you ever wondered why your short stories are rejected? What is the secret of selling your work? How do you make sure your characters are memorable, your plots realistic and your twists both satisfying and unpredictable. How do you ensure your stories rise to the top of the slush pile?

Della Galton answers these and many other questions using a format that will already be familiar to writers Who? What? Where? When? Why? and How?

A must have text book for any writer new or established, hoping to ‘up their game’.

Tragedy forces her to flee but when she discovers that her husband, a property developer, is cheating on her she returns. But the fair has gone, the land, brought by her husband, is now covered by luxury flats. Going back can be painful but this is just the start of the Helter Skelter for Vanessa.
