100 Stories for Haiti



 

100 Stories for Haiti is a unique collection of stories bound together by paper and glue and massive amounts of hope. This is no ordinary book. One morning a writer woke up and decided, I must do something. Hundreds of talented authors worldwide sent him their stories and the result is an anthology that anyone can enjoy.

I was really pleased with my purchase. The stories are engrossing and well written and a great book to take with you on journeys, whether commuting or travelling a lot, as you can put it down, you won't lose your place in the stories, for they are quick reads and thoroughly enjoyable, for men as much as women. But the greatest thing is its all help towards a heartbreaking tragedy in Haiti. A wonderful book for a wonderful cause by many many wonderful authors.  100 Stories for Haiti  A great gift.  
It's a cracking read - very different styles and very different takes on the theme of 'hope'. No story is over 1,000 words long so it's excellent to dip in and out of - yes, it's a keep in the loo book.  
This book has great stories and they are diverse enough to suit everyone. As a busy person I liked the fact that I can finish a full story over a quick cup of coffee. It's all for a good cause too.

Gentle Footprints

 



 

A huge number of people have been involved in putting this book together and it is impossible to mention them all by name. But I do want to thank Born Free for their tremendous help in collating all the facts and approving all the stories and organisations we have approached, particularly Lauren Smith for putting up with my continual bombardment of emails. And of course to Virginia McKenna for the foreword and for being so supportive of our efforts.

On This Day

 



Everyone remembers what they were doing when the shocking news broke: when Kennedy was shot, when Princess Diana died and when the first plane crashed into the World Trade Centre on 9/11. Yet everyday lives continued with their own ups and downs. This collection shows us some of those possible stories and how they are gently connected with the day's world shattering event. A percentage of the author royalties will be donated to International Rescue Training Centre Wales (IRTCW), who provide search and rescue dogs to the Emergency services.

Tales from the Upper Room

 


Be wowed by the dark tales: a modern day Little Red Riding Hood – as you have never seen her before. You will wait for the Reaper to come and you’ll encounter ghosts in different forms. Laugh at how Mavis and cat, Cuddles, and a glass of Lambrusco manage to start World War III, and how a job search lands aging Mr Montegoo the perfect job. Read about war, about hate, and about love. Encounter the power of what-if moments, love that endures, lovers that got away and the effect of the choices we make in life.

There is everything from poignant and thought- provoking stories and poems, to a beautiful sonnet and even some limericks thrown in…

The collection is written by established writers as well as writers making their debut. Come on in to the Upper Room and find your favourites.

Profits from the sale of this book will be donated to Havens Hospices:
www.havenshospices.org.uk who help adults and children in Essex. Their message is simple, but one we should all heed. It’s about ‘making every day count.’
