"50 Shades" inspired food erotica begins this collection of modern-day fables to excite new beginnings and provoke new approaches. Each has been written independently, perhaps for a competition or as a response to a real-life event.
White, Red or Dead, Madam? - An erotic affair to quench an insatiable appetite for the illicit, played out in a Cuban fish restaurant dressed in Calvin Klein, a traditional English gourmet romp in Vivienne Westwood red, fox furs and Burberry shoes, before entering the theatre of the karma sutra beneath a veil of temptation and promise. Beware the man with bland tastes - some dishes are best served cold.
A Land Called Pyramid - Written in traditional fable style this story is set in an imaginary land called Pyramid where society focuses on economics, politics and social standing. It is told from a schoolboy's perspective who struggles to conform to the pyramid structure that surrounds him. For solace he escapes to 'the land next door' where practical skills and community is prized over all else. When his Pyramid land stands inverted schoolboy David seeks wisdom from his neighbours.
Home From Home - is based on a true story about an eccentric old lady who turns vigilante, vandalising vehicles in the dead of night, to protect her quiet village from an ever-increasing problem of parked cars on an otherwise picturesque village road.
Lokimischief - is a spine-chilling fable about the risks of talking (online) to strangers. A modern day Little Red Riding Hood. Beware.
