Philip Rintoul shares his love of fictional short stories. Terse and powerful prose conveys the stories and vignettes of life of how people rise and cope with their challenges. From the carefree newlyweds in 'Wedge-Tail' to the gritty demands of business in 'Mad Friday' and the shadowy world of 'Retired Geezer', each story aims to engage and entertain the reader.

This collection was written about people, places and events in Australia in 2018.
