MORE GREAT AUTHORS
Really! THE GREATEST short STOR[ies] I've EVER
TOLD
by JAY SQUIRES
DARK REFLECTIONS: Lena loves Robin in that special way a mother loves her child.
Only, Robin is her husband! Lena also has feelings for Maretta, who happens to be Robins's
sister and the matchmaker who brought them together. Maretta seems to feel the same. But
how could anything come of it ... at least while Robin's dying?
WHAT A HUNDRED'LL Do: Are these the rants, ramblings and actions of a demented man?
Or are they the net result of love carrying him as far as it can go?
KEEPING SCORE:
Competition means nothing unless a score is kept -- even when the competitorsare 100-plus years-old! On this field the battle can be brutal. Ask 114 year-old Graham Murdoch, listed as the oldest person in the U.S. (but only 3rd on the world-scale)! Or ask his ruthless opponent, in the other corner (so to speak!) at 113, Foster Carmichael. Foster Carmichael craves to be number one. Need more be said?
BENT: Is Johnny Dead or Alive? He was sure he knew once. Or is Johnny merely dreaming he is dead or alive? There have been some bizarre cognitive encounters. He may have been part of them. Perhaps his shrink knows. Unless he is a shard from his shrink's shattered delusions. Why aren't things as simple as when he was a child? At times he remembers his childhood.

Jay Squires...The first word that comes to mind is funny. Oh, no, not funny strange. Funny, that makes you pee your pants. Kind fights it's way into your
mind when you think of Jay. No, not the guy who loans you his lawn mower, kind. Who wants to mow their lawn, anyhow? Nontheless, he is kind. He always is ready to retweet, he says things that make you feel good and is not bashful to share his quick wit. I've read this book and recommend it to anyone. Jay's writing is flawless and serious and I am amazed at the depth he goes to tell his stories. After you read this book, check out his others, I plan to. - HcB

ONE SUMMER IN FRANCE by BEV SPICER

three month stay in France as part of their degree course. They set off to the
Med and encounter people and places that give them an education they could
never get in a lecture theatre. Join them on their hilarious adventure and get
to know their very different attitudes to life.The book is based on the author's
real-life experiences and is a prequel to her humorous memoir 'Bunny
on a Bike'.

Amazon only publish reviews in the country where the book is

My name is Bev Spicer and I was born in Bridgnorth,
Shropshire. My father was an observer for the RAF and my mother was the
beautiful youngest daughter of a successful market gardener.
I somehow managed to get to Cambridge University as a post-grad, despite spilling a
schooner of sherry over my blouse at interview (in my defence, I have never
thought of sherry as something you should drink). I am widely read, having
studied English and French Literature at Keele, where I also developed my love
of astronomy thanks to the punishing curriculum that demanded I take a science
option in my first year. If I had my life again, I would spend it in the
company of such people as Sir Patrick Moore, Prof. Brian Cox and my wonderful
astronomy night-school teacher Stuart Clark.
At present, I live in France, where the weather is normally better than in Cambridge, England, where
I quit my job as an EFL lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University. I miss my
friends, and my students, but the pull of sunshine, great food and being able
to write everyday is irresistible.
I have lived on Crete, where I learned to speak the language and became a fitness instructor,
(until my thighs became too big for my jeans). In the Seychelles I lived on Mahe, and worked for
the government, teaching on the small island of St. Anne, going to work every
day on a WWII landing craft and watching out for giant centipedes dropping from
the classroom rafters. I later co-designed the syllabus for years I and II,
which were used for many years - there were no books to teach from at that
time, very few resources and often not enough desks or chairs for the
students.
I have published Bunny on a Bike, by Bev Spicer (a humorous
memoir about my time as a Playboy croupier). I have also published My
Grandfather's Eyes (a chilling thriller) and Angels (a short horror story) both
by B A Spicer.
I am currently editing three other books which will be
ready when they have been thoroughly pulled to pieces several times and finally
put back together to my satisfaction.
In the meantime, I hope you will
enjoy my offerings and will want to come back for more. I appreciate honest
feedback - I really do.
I have a blog, which I update whenever I can and
where I publish extracts from time to time:
