House of Penitents

This is the second collection of not so short stories by Brian and once again he looks closely into the lives of people and the individual problems that they have. What makes the stories so interesting is the crispness of his writing and the perceptiveness of how he views human nature. So many times I have found myself identifying with the characters, not from the situations that are being described but through their frailties and attitudes and weaknesses. I was privileged to have been given a pre-publication copy of ‘House Of Penitents’ and I quite literally could not put it down. David Cummings. (Styles Book Corner.) THE STORIES. Deja Vu................................focuses on someone in the entertainment business who is confronted by the ghosts of his past. Digging The Dirt...................sees one woman facing those who choose to be the self appointed moral vigilantes of a community. A Moment Of Grace............a fiftieth wedding anniversary that has sad undertones. Just A Passing Fancy............is a man’s analysis of his own conscience when temptation is laid before him. House Of Penitents.............through an extraordinary experience this is one man’s question of what lies beyond. What other people say.................. Maria Salvaro. (Sly Daisy Books) “I’ve seldom seen more incisive writing.” Luke Samuels. (Ranch House Records.) “I’ve been a fan of Brian’s for many years and he just gets better and better. Malcolm Edwards. (Freelance Journalist and Author.) “He has the ability to bring the characters right into the room with you.” Sally Millichip (SBS Records.) “I just wanted to congratulate you, I was totally enthralled by all the stories in this volume. Thank you.”
