This is a collection of darker, longer stories which will give you something to think about. Elegantly crafted by some of Bridge House's finest writers, these thought-provoking tales will occupy you during the darkest days after Yuletide festivities. These stories can of course be read at any time of the year but the collection is named after the twelve days of Christmas and provides one a day for this season.

There’s a story in this book for every day of Advent. You can start them on the 1^st  stories about angels. There are stories  about people. There are even a couple of stories which tell us how the world became the way it is – perhaps.        of December and you’ll finish them just in time for Christmas if you read one a day. There are stories about dragons, horses and other animals.

What would make you scream? Go on. Tell us.

Somebody with a face like a pumpkin? Or being stuck in a batting cage?  A gun pointing at your head? Or a blood thirsty ghost? Go on, what would make you run?  What would make you so scared you’d cry? That nasty old scarecrow? Some beast in dark wood? A big cat? A ghost?

Well, yeah, they might make you want to run a mile, blubbing in fright. But you know what’ll make you scream, don’t you?

This book will make you SCREAM!!!

Why does the old lady make such a big deal about inviting young couples to dinner?  Why is there a uniform up in the attic?  Who is the strange girl in the film?

Then there’s the printer that goes mad, the delightful house in the countryside, and the fruit machines that behave oddly at the local bingo hall.

Half the time, even though you know you’re reading a collection of ghost stories, you won’t know who are the real people and who are the ghosts. The characters in our stories don’t either.  

One thing is certain: if you dare to open the pages in this volume you’ll be spooked for sure.

'Making Changes' is an exciting anthology containing work by a wide variety of talented writes. It is, if you like, an Advent Calendar of stories, with one story for every day between the 1st and 24th of December. It is for everyone who likes to curl up with a good book on those dark, winter days leading up to Christmas, our eternal storytime, although the qualities of the stories means they can be enjoyed over and over again at any time of year.

 

Within the anthology there are stories of the supernatural and magical and stories which touch lightly on the Christian Nativity story. There are stories which show us humanity at its best - and its worst, including a murder story. There is humnour and pathos, something to make you laugh and something to make your cry. This anthology in effect contains something for everyone.

 

Without being over-sentimental, this is a collection of stories which will fill you with hope and optimism as one year ends and another begins. It is a celebration of the human capacity to make effective changes in a complex and ever-changing world.

In the Shadow of the Red Queen 

The Red Queen’s shadow falls upon us in all sorts of circumstances. She may help us to play tricks on each other while she plays tricks on us. She has a streak of cruelty and can make us cry. Yet she also has a sense of humour and being the wily female that she is, she excels at making us fall in  love.

We hope you will fall in love with this collection of short stories, all of which will make you laugh, cry or think that life is grand.      

We’d intended there to be one for each day of your holiday, including the day you leave and the day you get back. However, we thought you might also like one for the day before you set off and for the day after you’re home.

Enjoy.

What was it really like in those days? How did people see Jesus or Noah or the other people from the bible? From Noah to St.Paul this wonderful collection, some for children, mostly for older children and adults, gives the reader a real sense of what it was like to be there, to see Jesus preach, to watch the walls of Jericho crumble, to see the angel at Jesus's birth...a real delight.
