I'm thrilled to have two short stories included in this fantastic anthology. Tears and Laughter and Happy Ever After is filled with stories from the best and most successful short story writers around. It will be published as in Kindle format in mid-November and in paperback a month later.‘Tears and Laughter and Happy Ever After’ is a vibrant and varied collection of stories from writers who between them have had hundreds of short stories published in women’s magazines in the UK and around the world! Contributors have also won or been placed in dozens of competitions, published novels and written non-fiction for many UK magazines.
As the title suggests, the twenty-six stories encompass the dizzying heights of happiness, the heartbreaking depths of sadness and every emotion in between. Within the pages of this book you’ll meet a housewife with a surprising secret, a beekeeper with a problem and an undertaker with something unusual on his mind. You’ll also encounter angels, ghosts, aliens and many other intriguing characters. And, in the end, you may just find the path to happy ever after.
The idea for this book came from the successful ‘A Story A Fortnight’ writing group which brought the writers involved together in a project which has inspired and supported them in their short story writing.
Who’s been up to ‘Monkey Business'?
What's happening in 'The House At Summer's End’?
Who is 'The Girl In The Yellow Dress'?
If you want to know, you have to read ‘Tears and Laughter and Happy Ever After’.

How satisfying for a writer to be involved in such a collaborative project, Debs. I'll look for you on Amazon on this side of the pond. Was going to pre-order another November release, Gabaldon's "Scottish Prisoner", so will happily add "Tears" to order if it's available. Congratulations!
Wonderful, Debs! Congratulations!
Brilliant Debs! Can't wait to read it!
