How I came to write Moon Madness and other stories.
Moon Madness and Other Stories is a collection of stories short and long. I wrote the stories from my experience, my imagination and from observation. Moon Madness and other stories is dedicated to my mother, my family and my muses. (My "muses" being some of the women I have had the good fortune to have known and who have inspired some of my tales.)
Moon Madness and Other Stories is overall a comedy of errors, the prevailing themes being misunderstanding and ambivalence in intimacy between women. Throughout the 21 stories and vignettes, women relate intimately in a passionate mix of love, lust, selfishness, generosity, kindness, cowardice, confusion and dismay - and ambiguity rules the day.
More about Moon Madness and Other Stories.
In the title story, Moon Madness, the middle-aged heroine pursues her adolescent desires and learns a lesson or two on route. In other tales, down-to-earth Bernie meets a spaced-out lady, and is touched by magic in the end; and Fat Betty wants to make a meal of the wilful Princess Evaleen, (as the way to a woman's heart is through her stomach). Elsewhere, Wild Horses couldn't keep them apart - but what kept them together? And Maxine suffers unduly for her Unsafe Address.
The longest story is Hannah in My Arms, an enthralling novella of girlhood love, lust and faithlessness in a British single sex school. (The reader may decide who betrayed whom in the end.) The briefest tale is Saturdaze: a nifty little gem, erotic, and diamond-bright with very sharp edges!
Sharp as a sliver of glass; bitter as aloes; sweet as runny honey; warm as toast and jam; funny as monkeys; and with more than a nod to a lesbian Eros, Moon Madness and Other Stories crackles jumps and tingles with spite, sarcasm, irony and ardour. Hope you like it!
