Published December 2013
This anthology is based around any number of brightly coloured doors through which the reader can walk into worlds that will fire the imagination. These stories overflow with fresh insights and epic characters, and above all with ambition. Every one of them is based in Hertford and its surrounds. I thought I knew the town pretty well and had a good idea of what it might produce. I was wrong.
Now I'm not sure it's an undisputed fact that Jane Austen came here, let alone Vincent van Gogh, although Elizabeth I's and Oliver Cromwell's links are rather better established. What does it matter? These are works of the mind, travel documents to places as yet unknown. Between these covers you will find shaggy dog journeys, detective puzzles, love stories, lines that are poetic, some that are prophetic, tales about star ships and Zeppelins and train rides, and on every page just plain good writing.
