Close Call: Short and Bittersweet is not your usual collection of fictional short stories that can each be read in their own right. A blend of fact and fiction, it is an album of the author’s journey from the womb of the Scottish Highlands into the Big Wide World and into the deepest recesses of her own mind. All with the aid of a cast that includes the spectre of her mother’s mental illness, a superstitious granny that she cannot even remember, a prince, a vampire and two Hollywood actor lookalikes. Oh, and a couple of restless chickens. Life really is stranger than fiction …

Close Call is a place where things are not always as they seem, reality is only a matter of perception, and where history repeats itself in the most intriguing and sometimes touching ways. Where Fate and Serendipity rule the roost. And life imitates art.

Although ostensibly about danger, real or imagined, and the fine line between the worlds, Close Call is a greater adventure in the power of the human imagination. It explores not only how our life experiences shape our beliefs but how they are shaped by them. It lays claim to that dimension of human existence that we do not yet, nor need to, fully understand. Close Call is a thought-provoking roller-coaster journey that will make you laugh as well as cry.

There but for the grace of God. Everything for a reason. Never were truer words spoken …
