A new year, a new story, and some news.
Happy new year to everyone. My new story for the new year is called Puzzle Box. If you have a spare hour after the excitement of the holidays I hope you will enjoy this. It is another ghost story, stylistically similar to my other stories. Something to take your mind off the grimness of some of the news in 2022, although I can’t promise many laughs. The image above is the closest I could find to the box I imagine in the story; I really need Will from the Repair Shop to knock something up for me. You can read Puzzle Box by clicking here.
The news is: the reason I haven’t posted anything for a while is that I have also been working on a full length novel. The first draft is finished, but it needs a lot of revision before it is fit for public consumption. My current plan is to find a proper publisher, so I probably won’t release it here, at least not for the time being. But don’t worry, there are more short stories on the way. In the meantime if anyone knows a good literary agent give me a shout. As ever you can contact me at anthony@shinglebeachstories.com.
Best wishes and have a good 2023.
Anthony
