IN THE PRESS
I love reading short stories, when the opportunity of a good book full of short stories comes along.
As soon as I opened the book I was immediately drawn to the story The Maze, with a boy hearing a mobile phone ringing inside the maze. I can just imagine how hard it would be to find a mobile phone that is ringing. Can you imagine being in a maze hearing a mobile phone ringing and trying to find it?
I’m often drawn to quite a few of the short stories in a book, but I always end up having special favourite story..
