Fifteen short stories from reality to fantasy and back again. Home is a place, a person, an idea, or a life, and leaving it is always significant. It could mean an escape to freedom, happiness or adventure, realising a mistake and yearning to return, or even death. Fifteen short stories mix the reality of life with fantasy. Meet an archangel and a tiny vampire, travel from New York to Ireland via Barbados. Leave a beach in England and whirl through millennia, changing shape along the way.

Produktbeschreibung
Fifteen short stories from reality to fantasy and back again. Home is a place, a person, an idea, or a life, and leaving it is always significant. It could mean an escape to freedom, happiness or adventure, realising a mistake and yearning to return, or even death. Fifteen short stories mix the reality of life with fantasy. Meet an archangel and a tiny vampire, travel from New York to Ireland via Barbados. Leave a beach in England and whirl through millennia, changing shape along the way. Join the stage crew in London's West End, and a pantomime in a small regional theatre. Share adolescent angst, domestic rage, unrequited love, the poignancy of loss, and the comfort of friendship. These are tales of comedy and tragedy, inspiring laughter and touching the heart. Pure magic. Contain some adult themes.

Autorenporträt
Lynne is Home Counties escapee living by the sea at last, in Devon. She's written two novels, Terrible With Raisins and Jigsaw Island and, most recently, published an anthology of short stories, Leaving Home. The novels feature some of the same characters and share settings in the glorious Dodecanese Islands of Greece, although both are standalone works and can be read individually. Leaving Home is a collection of stories written over some years, some are prizewinners, one a BBC broadcast. She has a portfolio of scripts dating back to her effort, at ten years old, for 'Write a Play', hosted on television by Jimmy Hanley (it didn't win). Since then she has written for the stage both adult and children's material, adapted and directed three Dickens novels for large casts, and two classics for BBC Radio. She studied at Wimbledon School of Art, the University of Reading, and was awarded a bursary on the Regional Theatres Trainee Directors' Scheme. Following this, she directed at theatres around the UK for some twenty five years, including The Young Vic, National Theatre, various repertory theatres, Theatre About Glasgow (Citizens' Theatre), and ran Dundee Rep's touring theatre company in Tayside. Some of her favourite work has been with students at leading drama schools. She has also volunteered teaching English as a Second Language to refugees in Devon.
