"Scattered fragments"


The writing of No Way To Say Goodbye produced discrete stories that were edited out of the final version yet survived on with a life of their own like ox-bow lakes remaining after a winding river has changed its course.

Examples of these are offered free gratis and for nowt to my gentle readers:

• "The Sabre"



• "The Whirlwind of the Lost"

The novel also originally held many other images that were removed in the cautious editing processes yet can be revealed on the free and easy net.
