| Publisher Description: A widower entombs the voice of his dead wife in an antique walking stick - but will it be enough to silence her? When the life of a vulnerable woman is struck by calamity, nemesis looms for a would-be lothario at the local veterinary surgery - can anyone emerge unscathed from the aftershock? In rural West Wales, a farmer's wife develops a disturbing infatuation with a derelict parsonage, which seems somehow connected to the fates of her unborn children. Crossing boundaries of period (the Welsh valleys of the 1940s via a post war East End to the present day), and exploring a range of style and mood from black comedy to domestic tragedy, 'The Wheel' embraces reflections on the nature of loss, the haunting burden of childhood trauma and much more besides. If you enjoy variety in a short story volume, this book is for you. |
Contributor Bio(s): Morgan-Jones, James: - "James Morgan-Jones was born and brought up on the borders of East London and Essex. His mother was Welsh and his father from the East End. He trained as a professional actor at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London and worked for several years in the theatre. After a serious accident he retrained as a feline behaviourist and now lives in West Wales, just outside Carmarthen. Having penned stories from his teenage years, he began writing seriously in 2008 after gaining an MA with Distinction from Trinity Saint David University. James's work is published by Wordcatcher Publishing. He is currently working on 'The Glasswater Quintet', a series of novels; the first in the sequence - 'On the Edge of Wild Water' - was re-issued in a new edition by Wordcatcher in the summer of 2017. Its sequel, 'The Glass Citadel', followed in the autumn of that year. The third instalment - 'The Stone Forest' - was published in November 2018." |
