Jamie Guiney

This is a story about judgement, how long it takes us to make a friend from a stranger, and the assumptions we make in-between.


As winter descends upon the mountain,
Mrs. Wheeler discovers an old stranger playing out the last of his days
and she must decide whether to accept his unbeliveable story,
or reject it, along with his friendship.

 

A Man in Grey Shoes

James Guiney

A Satirical Tale


When ‘Colour Blindness’ was first discovered, three towns were selected for preliminary tests…. One of them was called Weverley. Come on a journey…. deep into the hills and far from the world to this town called Weverley that nobody knows where a very strange crisis is brewing….

Hi Fletcher, I read one of your stories 'Irrestible Temptation'. Have been thinking about this overnight and here is the best advice I can give you. 1. Think strongly about the logistics of a story, if someone is walking down a lane, describe it a little and lead us into the story, set the scene.... view book

Hi Charles, I read one of your short stories – Despair. This is a really excellent idea for a short story. I think with some more work, maybe another 2 or 3 edits, this could be really good. Some suggestions: You really need to watch out for clichés (and there are quite a lot of them). If your... view book

Hi Innes, I have read a bit of this. Firstly, I've read enough of this to know that you can write, that you have talent and that you can probably make this publishable. Writing is about two main things for me: how the words hang together (flow, style etc) what the words are saying (the actua... view book

Hi Frank, I have a few suggestions for you. I think as it stands, this book is close to being publishable, reads quite well and you have the knack down alright for telling a good story.
