The Commuter's Friend — Caron Allan

I've collected together some of my favourite work. There are really short stories, aka flash fiction, and some longer pieces that will hopefully while away a longer journey and help you to forget about that bloke across from you sniffing every thirty seconds, or the person who keeps whistling under their breath or the one who has a really annoying ‘message received' tone on his or her mobile. There is a mix of genres, some are sinister and creepy, some are sad and sentimental, some tongue-in-cheek, some are life-writing, some are chick-lit. Some of these stories are actually extracts from my blog, for example, The Preppers Guide for Writers and The Day It Rained, comments about life as I see it, or short life writing pieces such as Big Knickers and Brisbane. Some, like Leaving Shardlow were stories inspired by newspaper reports -- yes really!
