  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

  Jesse McDermitt is finally ready to retire. But life has other plans. While diving on a remote reef deep in the backcountry of the Florida Keys with his wife, son and two friends, he discovers of all things, a car. 
  Not just any car, but a 1928 Duesenberg Model J, the most powerful and stylish automobile of its time. The car was once owned by a Saudi prince who was attempting to develop Johnston Key in the heart of Turkey Basin before Henry Flagler even finished the rail line to Key West. 
  But that’s not all Jesse discovers and what he finds next will make him the target of one of his own. He’s been mentoring a young operative who then decides to go rogue and now it’s up to Jesse to find the man and, if need be, eliminate him before he can hurt anyone else.

  In the shadows of our world, an invisible war rages—a war that most people will never see, fought by soldiers they will never know. D.E.D.D. Man Walking, the latest thrilling collection by Eli Taff Jr., plunges you deep into the dark, chilling universe of the Department of Extra-Dimensional Defense (D.E.D.D.). This elite black ops unit stands as humanity's last line of defense against nightmarish creatures and interdimensional horrors that slip through the cracks of reality. 
  From fog-shrouded fishing villages where massive, tentacled monstrosities rise from the depths, to remote Arctic outposts where ancient entities whisper through the ice, D.E.D.D. Man Walking delivers ten tightly-woven flash fiction stories that capture the intense, action-packed missions of Reaper Squad. Each story is a pulse-pounding, 500-word plunge into the unknown, where the strange and supernatural blend seamlessly with brutal, military realism. 
  For fans of military sci-fi horror and dark, supernatural thrillers, this collection is a must-read.  
  It's the Eli Taff Jr. masterfully combines the tactical precision of black ops action with the gut-wrenching terror of cosmic horror, creating an atmosphere that is both thrilling and unsettling. D.E.D.D. Man Walking captures the claustrophobic tension of works like The X-Files, Stranger Things, and The Thing, while also appealing to fans of Warhammer 40K and H.P. Lovecraft's mythos. 
  Prepare yourself for a journey into the shadows, where every flash of light reveals a new nightmare, and the line between reality and the unexplainable blurs. Welcome to D.E.D.D. Man Walking. Once you step into this world, there's no going back.

  A Rich Woman - From their pens...

  Katharine Tynan was born on 23rd January 1859 into a large family in Clondalkin, County Dublin. 
  The family business was cattle rearing and the farmhouse, set with the mountains for a backdrop, was a wonderful world for a young mind to learn and imagine. 
  She was educated at the convent school, St Catherine of Sienna, in Drogheda.  A stubborn streak inhibited her ability to learn as easily as the school wished. However she did learn on her own terms and soon began to take her ‘forbidden literature’, hidden in her clothing, to her loft in a stable hideaway.  
  Until she turned seventeen nothing appeared to point to a literary career.  But some verse printed in a Dublin newspaper changed everything. It led to a sonnet being printed in the Spectator.  Thereafter the Graphic published several others and even paid a half guinea for the privilege.   
  In 1884 Katharine dispatched herself to London and made an abiding friendship in Alice Meynell.  Alice was an established poet and helped, with her husband Wilfred, to publish many poets. The following year it was arranged for the publication of her first poetry volume, ‘Louise de la Vallière’.  
  She formed valuable friendships with the poets Gerard Manley Hopkins, William Butler Yeats and later Francis Ledwidge.  
  As she gathered friends and contacts into her life her literary output began to gather pace. Katharine had begun to write prose for the Speaker and for the Scots and National Observer.  
  In 1892 she married Henry Albert Hinkson, a fellow writer and a barrister.  They moved to England and had five children although two were to tragically die in infancy.   
  By now her output was prolific and ranged from poetry to novels to short stories.  It would later include a biography and further extend to editing and reviewing.   
  In 1912 the family returned to Claremorris, County Mayo, when her husband was appointed magistrate, a post he held until his early death in 1919.     
  Tynan is sometimes grouped amongst the War Poets of the First World War. Her experience was not direct but as a Mother with one son serving in France and another in Palestine, the emotions, fears and doubts are expressed in a beautiful and heart-felt way.  
  Involved in the Irish Literary Revival, Tynan expressed concern for feminist causes, the poor, and the effects of World War I in her work. She also meditated on her Catholic faith. 
  She is said to have written over 100 novels, 12 collections of short stories, plays and many volumes of enduring poetry as well as five volumes of autobiography. 
  Katharine Tynan Hinkson died at age 72 on 2nd April 1931 in London and is buried in Kensal Green Cemetery.
