This is an ecclectic collection of stories and articles covering everything from futuristic science fiction to contemporary writing on warfare and the use of words. The writing is imaginative and accessible and in cases really makes you take a step back and think. Some of the stories are graphic and don’t hold any punches while others are subtle and well thoughtout. Certainly worth a read and (as the author admits) a very good enticement to read more of the author’s work.
Or My Own embarrassing review.
This is a free compilation of short stories and articles. It is not suitable for youngsters nor the squeamish, as the subject matter is in some places questionable. Mostly its just imaginative scribbling, and please consider this a blatant bribe to entice you to buy my first book, The Navigator.

Actually the easiest way to find it is to type the Magic Laptop Ride into google…..
Best of luck with it.
Why add articles with stories, that seems very weird. I do hope it pans out for you.
I work in Photo Journalism so the whole idea is a kind of showcase for the writing side, besides some of the articles are actually imaginative writing using the rules of short stories to get the point across. It is a hit and miss book, because of the lack of an identity, but the strength is in the individual stories, I guess if you cut across genres then you may as well include the journalism to.

PS how is Heads and Tales doing?
