King Arthur has rested in Avalon for 1500 years, destined to return
in Britain's hour of need. Francis Drake also vowed that at the
sounding of his drum he would return when the nation's freedom is
threatened..... Their hour has come. Britain's two European
Commissioners have conceived a plot to seize power and turn the
Island of the Mighty into Europe's rubbish bin. To complete the
coup and ensure the country will fall, their Private Secretaries
steal the ravens from the Tower of London. Twins, Jess and Max,
help the returning heroes make sense of a much altered world and
join them in their quest to save the country and their people once
again as they did of old.... Destiny is awakened!
Questions and Answers is a collection of thirteen contemporary
stories about relationships: the love, sex, longing, betrayal,
euphoria, pain, pleasure, comprehension and incomprehension that we
have all at one time experienced. They are love stories but,
unusually perhaps, they are mostly written from a male perspective:
Dan in 'Highlands' runs away from a cycle of failed love-affairs to
the mountains of Ethiopia; Robbie in 'Bleed' struggles with the
complexity of an indistinct relationship; Finn in 'Favourites'
blurs the line between friends and lovers; Sam in 'Cracks in the
wall' experiences the fragility of love; the protagonist in 'The
menu' considers the consequences of infidelity. In all
relationships there are questions and answers but - like people in
relationships and those in these short stories - they are not
necessarily connected to each other.
