Lines, Tears & Spirits

About the Book

Lines, Tears & Spirits is a collection of twenty-four scenes. They are not a continuous storyline but start during spring 2015 and move chronologically throughout the rest of the year and into spring 2016. The vignettes involve ordinary people in everyday circumstances, and the author repeats most of the various characters in order for the readers to develop a friendly intimacy with them. The settings are ones that a lot of people will be able to relate to and provide a form of escapism as well as a good few laughs due to the punch lines of dry wit!
