Life As It Was
Life As It Was tells the tale of how an ordinary family lived in the pre-war, wartime and post-war years. It tells how they survived the troubles they encountered and how their lives were altered by the war. “When I was a small child, I little knew how my life would change in a few short years. My family moving was unexpected but brought many changes to all our lives. Somehow we lived through these changes and learned to deal with the problems in our own ways. When I look back over the changes that have happened since the end of World War Two, I realise that we gained an independence which we would probably not have done if the war had not happened,” says Mary. Life As It Was is her fami...

Flights of Fantasy
Flights of Fantasy is a collection of 28 science-fiction and fantasy stories. They cover a wide range of topics and ideas; some probable, others perhaps not so probable. Is the disappearance of the cats in the first story something that could happen? Others are pure fantasy, but could they happen too? ‘When I look back over the changes that have happened since the end of World War Two, I realise that things that would have seemed improbable before then have now become realities. Because of this, perhaps the events in these stories are not as far-fetched as they seem at first,’ says Mary.This collection of tales focuses on ideas not too far from the truth and will provoke thought from like-minded readers and fans of sci-fi and fantasy fiction.
