Publisher's summary

This is probably the most extraordinary book that you have ever read. Why? Because I can read the people who read me and that is very, very strange.

DESCRIBED AS BRILLIANT BY MENSA MAGAZINE

So, have I discovered anything about you, dear reader, from you just having a quick listen so far? Have a look and see how much I know about you. It is up to you to make sense of what I will say and how it is personal just to you. This is inside the book.

Some of my tales are perhaps very tongue in cheek and funny, others sometimes sad. Most of all they are to meant to provoke your thoughts and emotions as they reflect what I have gathered from the previous consumers of my observations in my other books.

We all like to know the distasteful secrets of others but it can be difficult to get them at first hand. Yet, something seemingly detached and innocent can be the receptacle and the exposer of those hidden truths about the lies that are told.

Most of us will know that with other people we hear the stories they want to share but not the ones they want to forget. It has been said that the book is like the 'invisible' villain in a crime story. It is the fly on the wall, the butler looking through a keyhole.

Perhaps the postman or the waiter who is taken for granted and who can see what is happening, but remains unseen. This wide-ranging mix contains stories of love, murder, ghosts, success, failure, comedy, cheating and many, many more.

Please laugh at some of these very tongue-in-cheek accounts, cry at others but above all be entertained by a different perspective on the lives of people and a unique way to tell stories.

There are light and dark events and many hues in between. You will find enjoyment in the tales.

Truly Mind Boggling

This collection of short stories is a fun listen. Each story is masterfully narrated by the author. My top three favorites are: The Heart, Previous Death & 15 Minutes Of Fame.

To Hard to Listen to

Narrator was very hard to listen to due to the recording sounded like it was recorded in a tunnel with an echo and other background noises. Story line was just not for me. Expected more from title. Do not recommend.
