  H G Wells - Six of the Best -...

  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.

  A collection of short stories inspired by real life. Most represent a mundane side from science-fiction and fantasy writer Katrina Joyner that people don't get to see often. 
  "Silver" - Redemption can come in many forms, depending on how you find it and where you look. 
  "Over It" - Sometimes, when faced with your evil stepmother, leaving bread crumbs on the trail is not enough. 
  "Ghost in the Water" - When water spirits need rescue, heroes come in many shapes and sizes. A rare Native American point of view for the author. 
  "The Glass of Cappuccino" - Your fairy godmother may be closer than you think, and her motives may not be so easy to understand. 
  "For Fear of Breaking Hearts" - Fear can shatter worlds - and hearts.

  The Bronte sisters, most famous for their novels, began their career with a slim volume of poetry, published under pseudonyms. It only sold two volumes, but inspired much interest in the identities of the unknown poets. This is a recording of the more successful 1850 edition, which includes additional poems by Emily and Anne which Charlotte collected after their deaths. (Summary by Libby Gohn)

  The Last Page - A Tale of Scryunne

  Not every story begins in light. 
  Perhaps there was nothing I could have done differently. The atrocities I committed, the lives that I scorched from existence, the power I wielded with so little regard. 
  Or maybe it was the love that I lost? The love that my priest father had snuffed like a candle whose flame has been violently blown out. 
  I have destroyed, killed, manipulated, betrayed, tortured, and I have laughed at it all. 
  Perhaps I lied. Perhaps every story does begin in light – a cruel and unforgiving one.
