Download or read book Writers at Bay written by William Clinkenbeard and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2007-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this stimulating collection of short stories amazing things happen: Nessie grants an exclusive interview, turkeys and foxes speak, ghosts write, dreams and fantasies take on a menacing realty, ancient history is brought to life, revenge is sought and found, larceny and murder are committed. But ordinary people do ordinary and intriguing things as well: there are first dates, first loves, naughty weekends, and testing marriages. Most of these stories are set in Scotland. But several lead us elsewhere in the world, to Africa and North America in particular. When the Scots left their country to explore the world they also shaped it in a profound and lasting way. These stories reflect the Scottish character and nature that contributed to the shape of the modern world. The whole gamut of human experience is explored here: humor, pathos, nostalgia, violence and love. If there is a common thread running through these stories, it is that the line between fact and fiction is very thin. We believe that every reader will find something to engage the mind, touch the heart or bring a smile. Everyone in the world says they want to visit Scotland but can't say why. The answer is here!
