Give Me A Fish! And Other Stories That Are Perfect For Even The Shortest Toilet Or Public Transit Trips (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In our busy 21st Century lives, burdened as they are with electronica and specialty coffees, there seems to be less and less time to sit down and read. Where does one find the time to not merely scan a story or dutifully bookmark it in our device of choice for a later reading that we never actually get to, but actually finish a tale, or two, from beginning to end without interruption?

Give me a fish! and other stories that are perfect for even the shortest toilet or public transit trips addresses this need in the reading market, utilizing those seconds that people never even realize they have. All of the stories are designed to be read during what would otherwise be time wasted, such as: waiting for a bus, peeing (or in line for the loo at a busy event), while on hold, during television commercials, waiting for a kettle to boil, or one of many other time-stealing activities.

Most of the micro-fictions are a mere paragraph long. The short and non-fiction stories range in reading time but most are well under eight minutes, ideal for when you're in line at the grocery store on a Saturday morning and have exhausted all the juiciest tabloid headlines.

If you fill your unwanted seconds with any reading material this year, make it Give me a fish! Even if you hate it, how much time did you actually waste?

Autorenporträt

Freelance writing, editing and the research that comes with that pays the bills and, luckily for me, is often pretty darned interesting. I write mostly about environmental issues. Sewage sludge and its beneficial uses may not sound like your cup of, ahem, tea, but it's all in the way you look at things.

Fiction has always been part of my life. My mum read stories to me every night until I was old enough to read for myself, tucked under the covers with the flashlight. The first thing I can remember writing is a traditional Roses are red poem for my mother when I was about four years old. We had an old manual typewriter and I banged it out on a thin piece of paper. She kept that scrap for years.
