Publisher's Synopsis

An unapologetic collection of writing. Some People Come in Pairs talks of Saskia and Matthew, an inseparable twin brother and sister who get sent out of London during the Blitz at the outbreak of World War 2. They get sent to live with the Jago family in a tiny fishing village in Cornwall. They discover a world of adventure, the consequence of war, a family in grief, what it means to love and be loved, the feeling of portrayal, the value of friendship, the preciousness of life itself and that well and truly some people do come in pairs. The Comedy of Love is a short humorous story based on Lady Vester and her cavalier who go to visit her mad uncle in the country where everything goes disastrously wrong. The Veterinary Crisis is a short comedy about a terrible day in a veterinary surgery that everyone wants to forget. This collection is completed by a series of emotive, to-the-point, thought-provoking poems. Myth, The Waves, Moor Poem and Steeplejack will be sure to make your mind wonder and your heart warmer.
