Step into a captivating world where imagination runs wild, curiosity beckons, and the unexpected lurks around every corner. Red Shoes and Other Short Stories is an intriguing collection of tales that will surprise, enchant, and linger in the mind long after the final page. Blending the extraordinary with the everyday, these stories draw inspiration from real-life events and fantastical imaginings, each offering a fresh twist, a glimpse into another world, and a compelling reason to keep reading.

From the mysterious and unsettling—Red Shoes: Do we really know our neighbours?—to surprising rural adventures like T’aint a Bird, from the emotional coming-of-age of The Chicken-Man’s Grandson to the daring finale of Conchita Cintron: A torera’s final corrida, each story explores human nature, unexpected twists, and unforgettable characters.

Travel through time and place: WW2 Ireland, Dublin in 1832, the aftermath of the Croat-Bosniak War, or the magical landscapes of imagination. Some tales amuse, some provoke thought, and all will leave you reflecting long after the last page.

A perfect gift for fans of eclectic, character-driven short stories with heart, humor, and suspense.

"Really fantastic mix of short stories all very exiting, interesting and all completely original. The author's passion for travelling and writing shines through, and makes each short story a pleasure and interesting read. It takes you on a journey through different countries, without the hassle of going through any airport!!"

"These are wonderful stories, some exotic, others erotic and all of them with a sideways glance at everyday folk and lives lived behind the curtains."

"Fabulous characters who we are all bound to know at work or next door. But these are stories of that which is not public, of that which is hidden and, lets face it, of that which we just love to find out about the people we think we know!!!
After reading these tales the lady down the street and the local school Principal will never seem the same!
A highly recommended read."

"I adore short stories anyway as when time presses I can enjoy a complete experience. The variety in Red Shoes is super - fun, sexy and clearly well researched which is always a must. Congratulations to this author on a great read - she deserves all the success which I hope comes her way!!"

"This is the second book that I have read by an international author. I loved it for so many reasons. First, the book is written in a series of short stories. Second, the stories take place all over the globe. Third, erotica is my genre and this book did not disappoint. It was so hot that pages are still dripping from all the steam. This is a must read for all erotica authors looking to add books to their collection."

"This collection of seventeen short stories will leave you wondering. I enjoyed the stories and the author's style. Most stories are really short, so if you don't have much time you can take a few minutes and enjoy one at a time. Great job and thanks for the suspenseful endings."
