Elaine ChissickELAINE CUSSICK: The title of my story for the Look 4 Books Medley, is Sensual Singer but it’s not the kind of singer who hits the high notes. Elaine says: I’ve never really done a short story before so this has been a learning curve. Sensual Singer doesn’t really have a start, middle or end, it’s more of a snapshot into someone’s life ..

  1. Thank you for this super blog post, Jo. Here’s hoping the book will entertain the readers and raise the much needed £’s for two great charities.

  2. A great Blog post, Jo. Cleverly done to tempt without giving spoilers. Have shared it on my Facebook timeline and on Twitter. Thank you for all your time and effort xxx

    1. Thank you Madalyn! As I’m absolutely rubbish at writing short stories I wanted to do something to help. Love putting this sort of thing together and was pleased it worked out so well.

      1. It did work out well. It’s great for the Medley of Short Stories, and for the authors. The brief synopsis of each story is good – and the link to each writer’s website, or Blog, is a real bonus. I’m not good at short stories either, which is why mine is only 450 words. Have a great weekend. x

    1. Of course I will, Jo. It won’t be for a while, as I’m trying to get going on the fourth Dudley Sister’s novel – Bletchley WW2, so I’m researching at the moment. I have a lot of work to do, but I will review. x
