Endings, the title of this collection of short work is well chosen. The heart of each lies in the ending. And some of these stories are the end of the beginning because they went on to grow into novels e.g. Tribunal is the start of my novel, Last Days of The Tiger. Many might be placed in the thriller or crime genre (because that dominates my work) but Facsimile is Science Fiction and I intend to grow it into a novel. Some of these are so short that I see them as vignettes of life, those slices of life that often have no beginning or middle, but do have an end. Under the Bougainvillea is a good example. These stories are all about endings, some anticipated, some not. Thanks for being a reader. You can follow me on Twitter: @PatMullan and on Facebook: http: //www.facebook.com/patmullan1
