People who maintain there are six degrees of separation have clearly never been to Aotearoa. Make it two, and you're getting warmer...- Stephanie Ruth
Judges from the RWNZ Chapter Short Story competition 'Loved, loved, loved' these ten stand alone, open-window moments into everyday Kiwi lives, deeming them not only 'superb, ' but 'a real treat.'All the 'sideline' characters who live rent-free in the author's head have emerged as ten quirky, independent short stories to form Add a Splash of Love, an Otago Waters' anthology. Because everyone deserves to play the lead role in their own life, and it's aroha, most definitely, that makes the world go around!
A beginning and ending for Poppy and Clementine, torn apart by distance, but stoutly stitched back together again with shared history. The Bit That Means Something is concluded in Lead a Horse to Water.
Katie weathers a stinky pheromone experiment in Scent, Not Sensibility, a newbie gardener learns all about life's laterals in Heads or Tails, and identities and intentions are not what they seem in Second Act.
Fancy a spot of baking? Perhaps not from Talulah's kitchen, who refuses to follow the recipe in Heaped Teaspoons. Giulia muses over her ability to produce saline in the FF short story, Salt, and Annabelle is finally able to conclude what has been left hanging in Unfinished Business.
Ask Cherry what she delights in, and she will tell you it's a full-grown pelt in Hair and Now, while Mackenzie suffers from colour-blindness (among other things) in the MM tale, Abso-effing-lutely.
