Gaynor Madoc Leonard, author of 'The Carmarthen Underground' series, has brought together a collection of stories including the prize-winning tale 'The Last Cottage'. Whimsy, pastiche, kindness and lost love are found in these pages.
In 'At The Lyon House' a woman on business in New Orleans finds herself haunted by the first visit she made to the city 25 years before, finding herself unwillingly, frighteningly yet temptingly drawn back to that time; in 'The Red Snood' a young boy discovers that a single act of kindness and honesty changes can start a friendship and change lives. 'The Sheep-Whisperer of Llangendeirne' is a whimsical story about an itinerant Welsh chiropodist and 'Dead in the Afternoon' is a pastiche of the archetypal modern police detective story.
'The Last Cottage', first-prize winner in The West Coast Eisteddfod Short Story Competition in 2011, is the story of a woman who returns to the small cottage where she spent her honeymoon during World War One. Some years have passed but the cottage has remained the same and we share her reflections and memories.
Gaynor has received plaudits for her first novel, 'The Carmarthen Underground' (available in print from Y Lolfa, online and traditional bookshops) from both readers and the press. The second novel in the same series is being published on Smashwords.

Reviews of 'The Carmarthen Underground':

Americymru: “… Madoc Leonard’s first novel is an entertaining and occasionally thought-provoking spy-thriller…”

Cambria Magazine: “… there is a tenderness for landscape and myth…”

Some Amazon reader reviews: “… What a fab book. I loved it and read it in three sittings ignoring housework, family, meals etc…”
“… a cracking good adventure – fast-paced and absorbing…A very good read.”
“… a beautifully written story…”
“… such an enjoyable read…”
