Smorgasbord Book Promotions – New Book on the Shelves – #Shortstories – Life, DEATH and Other Characters by Geoff Le Pard

Delighted to share the news of the latest release by Geoff Le Pard…a short story collection  Life, DEATH and Other Characters

About the collection

What would you do if you were to host a dinner party and the sky wasn’t what you’d ordered? Could you find someone to shake out the creases from the clouds and tone down the wind to an acceptable zephyr? And what are the challenges facing a Portal Management Volunteer as they steer the recently departed to their chosen Hereafter? Or how would you organise your life if you were called to do God service just when you’d planned on making marmalade that weekend? Life, DEATH and Other Characters will inform and, where necessary, guide you through these and other complications amongst a lot of other short fiction that will educate inform and entertain. Well, maybe one out of three.

An early review for the book

willow willers 5.0 out of 5 stars Death and Other Characters is a must read. Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 10 June 2023

I have to say that Life Death and other Characters is a must read Book ! There is something for everyone there. I really enjoyed every story. Not always for the same reasons and probably not always for the right reasons. Some made me laugh, some made me cry (and some made me do both) with sadness and in fun too they all made me think.

I recommend it to everyone there is something there to suit all. A real laugh, cry and think out loud book. Life Death and other Characters can be read at face value but look a little deeper and there is much to ponder. Well done Geoff Le Pard another string to your bow.

About Geoff Le Pard

I have been writing creatively since 2006 when at a summer school with my family I wrote a short radio play. That led to a novel, some more courses, more novels, each better than the last until I took an MA at Sheffield Hallam. I published my first novel in 2014 – Dead Flies and Sherry Trifle. In 2015 a second followed – My Father and Other Liars. In 2016 I have an anthology of short stories out, Life, in a Grain of Sand. I have now added ‘memoir’ to my list of genres with the launch of Apprenticed To My Mother. Other novels can be found here. I write in a range of genres so there is something for everyone..

Before writing, I was a lawyer, ending up at the London Olympics. Now I mix writing with a range of activities, often walking to find inspiration or taking in a variety of sports events.

 

Thanks for dropping in today and I hope you will be leaving with some books.. thanks Sally.
