Life in Shadows is now available on Kindle Unlimited.

Set in Thailand, Life In Shadows is a 10,000 word short story about two writers: why they succeed, why they fail, and why sometimes they never start.

Thirty years ago, Charles Shaw wrote his critically acclaimed first novel. The world is still waiting for his second book.

When aspiring freelance journalist and ex-pat Michael Hayes is granted an interview with Shaw in Bangkok, he is determined to discover why the famous author is now a recluse.

But Shaw doesn’t give his secrets away easily and Michael discovers there are reasons why some people remain in shadows – and many more reasons why others, including himself, should come into the light.

One of those reasons might be the beautiful and mysterious Francesca, who he meets while waiting to interview Shaw.
