Description Please find in this volume two long short stories or novellas. Both deal with among other themes, murder. Whilst the first is set in living memory the second is a period piece. Suffering as I do from severe mental health problems writing like this has been a good outlet for my feelings and I can sympathise with the situation some of the characters find themselves in. Producing this book has been a labour of love. About the Author Martin Williams was born on the 4th December 1960 in Southampton. Particularly in his early years his family moved around a lot but finally he settled in Bristol where he took his exams at Bristol Grammar School. At the age of twenty one Martin was diagnosed as suffering from schizophrenia and the next twenty years were spend in and out of hospital but at the turn of the century he had a major breakthrough when using a new medication completely transformed his life. Following that he attended Studio Upstairs in Bristol, a therapeutic Arts Community and began writing seriously.
