Angel Reach

Angel Reach is a collection of short stories that explore the human condition through flawed characters whose vital, often strange journeys may bring them happiness or ruin. In the north of England, a visit from a tall man who smells of rust could be the antidote for Emily's reclusiveness. But how can you trust somebody if you've never seen their eyes? A young man who lives in a Manhattan attic may be a prophet or lunatic. In parallel, a young woman takes on social injustice wherever she encounters it. While neither have much regard for their own safety, they inevitably affect the lives of others. What will become of Tabbie and Finn? And what will happen when their paths cross? Struggling over the death of a child, a man haunts Venice in a poignant, modern-day tribute to Daphne du Maurier's 'Don't Look Now'. On the west coast of Ireland, a bully finds personal and perhaps universal truth after grief arrives at his door ... In an imagined Slavic folktale, a woman faces cruel challenges as she searches for the key to her life. An astronaut is locked in an illuminating battle for survival on an exo-planet.
