Shaggy Dog stories are a unique genre of fictional writing. They upturn entirely the unspoken principles of building a plot and transporting the reader to a satisfying conclusion, be it expected or not.

Each of the short stories in this collection is guaranteed to raise your expectations until they are rudely dropped into an audible groan.

As a fruit tree that grows and develops, finally offering an inviting crop from its branches, this collection brings the realisation that the fruit may never be picked at all.

Be assured. Your moans, raised eyebrows and sighs demonstrate that you are in sound, emotional health. Your responses are entirely valid. The stories are to blame, not you.

I remember my own fascination in discovering the structure of such stories and I am sure that one or two of the collection are based on those that I remember from many moons ago. However, I fully take responsibility for the content and outcomes of all others.

I am so grateful to you, dear reader, for embarking on this destination-less journey with me. Sincerely, you have my gratitude and, to accompany it, a measure of sympathy.
