About the author

I've been enjoying Goodreads for some time now so thought I'd better change the profile. I'm a Goodreads author and have just decided to start using the blog feature to put occasional bits and pieces of my writing on. Living on a small island off the west coast of Scotland, I'm not likely to be able to attend literary gatherings, festivals or launch events, and Goodreads offers the opportunity for me to share writing with friends here.
I find Goodreads a really supportive community, and I would like to thank my GR friends for enlarging my reading life!
Just adding a note - I've had a number of friend requests lately from people who have just joined Goodreads. I have had to start ignoring these and I do feel rude. I welcome friend requests from people who read and write reviews and whom I have got to know through shared comments threads. I just don't have time to correspond with people with whom I have no books or reviews in common.

These little tales are engrossing - I read them all more or less at one sitting. The final sentence on the back cover of the book (in my view) describes the content more appropriately than the actual title (we are not treated to hilarious romps but to life going awry): most of the stories are insightful snapshots of the frustration felt by protagonists in long-term relationships rather than a glorification (or even portrayal) of adultery. The author's ability to make us feel with the (mildly to extremely) embittered spouses/'lovers' is admirable.
