Romantic Stories from Women's Magazines

By: Clinton Smith

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Enchanting, funny, romantic and sometimes peculiar stories - most previously published in leading women's magazines. For instance, there's "The Sand Man" - an award-winning story about a crazily-in-love couple who build a huge sand man on the beach. What happens then is something to experience. Then there's "The Snag" - a story about a man who can do anything, except relate to women. And "Serpent for Celia". Do sea serpents exist? Of course not. But still... And "The Man Who Made Whistles" - where a hen-pecked husband learns to control mosquitoes. In "Spinster", an 'old maid' suddenly discovers a different way to live. In "Brass Teeth", a Prime Minister's wardrobe malfunction changes the course of history. In "Time Waits for Nolan" a complacent retiree abruptly slides into a decomposing world. Then, just to tone you up, there's the arid, eerie SF world of "Tub Travellers". And, finally, there's "The Stand-in" - a searing re-take on the Crucifixion based on esoteric research. (21,500 words) "Romantic Stories" includes top short fiction from periodicals such as WOMEN'S WEEKLY, CLEO, WOMAN'S DAY, ARGOSY UK and ABC Books.
