Cafe Short Stories

Welcome to what I call: ‘The Cafe Stories’ section.

These will be filled with 15 - 20 minute short stories for people to enjoy while being at a cafe, or just out-and-about. Most stories will have some Science fiction and Fantasy involved along with other elements to take you to another world for a while…

Each story will be posted here and announced on social media. Unfortunately, I cannot publish these as often as I would like to, but that should change soon, so watch this space!

If you have any comments, please feel free to add them at the end of each post.
