  Theodora Sarah Orne Jewett was born on 3rd September 1849 in South Berwick, Maine, to a family that had resided in New England for several generations. 
  From early childhood Jewett suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and one remedy was frequent walks which contributed to her life-long love of nature. 
  She was primarily educated at Miss Olive Rayne's school and then the Berwick Academy from where she graduated in 1866.  But much of her time was also spent reading from the extensive collection of books in the family library. 
  In 1868 at age 19, she was published ‘Jenny Garrow's Lovers’ in the Atlantic Monthly, and from this grew a reputation that was lauded and admired by both her captivated audience and such other noted writers as William Dean Howells.   
  As well as novels and short stories she also wrote children’s books and poetry volumes.  Jewett was also admired for the strong female characters who were as intelligent and able as any man around them. 
  In her personal life Jewett was attracted and attached to several women.  Many of her poems reveal the intensity of her feelings towards them. Whether Jewett found physical love with them is open to debate but she often did find devoted and loving friendship, humor and literary encouragement.  From 1881, after the death of James Fields, the editor of the Atlantic Monthly, she set up home with his widow, Annie, for the rest of her life in what was termed ‘a Boston Marriage’; the cohabitation of two wealthy women, independent of male financial support.   
  On her birthday in 1902, Jewett was involved in a carriage accident that effectively ended her literary career.   
  In March 1909 Sarah Orne Jewett was paralyzed by a stroke, and after another on 24th June she died in her South Berwick home.  She was 59.

  Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
  In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
  The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
  Some you may disagree with, but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
  In this volume our modern-day recordings explore the stories of the noted English humourist A J Alan who, back in the day, would don his dinner jacket and perform his funny and often eerie adventure stories live on BBC radio.

  If so, "Mnemonic Phantasms" is the deliciously twisted tell-all you've been waiting for. In this daring anthology, an anonymous ghostwriter exposes some of the most bizarre, mind-bending client requests they've encountered over decades of sculpting prose in the shadows. 
  From crafting alien abduction memoirs and decoding subterranean civilisation epics to channelling celebrity afterlife autobiographies and exorcising cult leader manifestos - no paranormal subject, interdimensional whisper, or eccentric megalomania is off limits. 
  With dizzying narrative dexterity and a masterful command of speculative psychosphere violation, "Ava Silica" (a soigné nom de plume) brings readers along for a wild ride. It's a no-holds-barred immersion into the most uncharted, unchartable territories where few ghostwriters dare to tread. 
  Part memoir, part uncategorisable omnibus, this one-of-a-kind volume boldly unveils every ghostwriter's darkest secret—that the most unbelievable assignments are also often the most demanding. Thanks to Silica's decision to shatter the civility cloaks of confidentiality, you, the reader, get to experience the delicious, disturbing psilocybin trip of sheer WTF?! First-hand.
