There are no short stories in real life - and no story ever stands alone. Every person has their own tale to tell, a thread that weaves and loops among countless others, which all together make up the vast pattern of life. And in The Devil's Crochet, many threads are really just one Architect - A visionary constructing the lives of those around him. Ball - What's in a witch? Carer - Keeping mum isn't always simple. Disingenuous - Loving thy neighbour. Elementary - No trade for Jack. Faction - Them and us from anonymous. Gregarious - Nature's helping hand. Hedge - Nothing quite like a man's love. Insouciance - Servants to greed. Jurisprudence - Cause and effect. Katana - Saying 'no' can be good. Letters -The power of words. Miss-Direction - Worried about being on the shelf?
