At last! My stories are available as an e-book from both Amazon and Smashwords. Here is the cover (I still get such a thrill seeing it on the Amazon web site!):
And here is the book description:
Strange Neighbours is a collection of ten illustrated fantasy short stories set in Cape Town, South Africa.
Meet a hitch hiking troll with a taste for pepper-spray and a homeless witch with a trolley full of secrets. Discover a book hoarding mermaid and a fridge full of frogs. And learn how to greet a witch – politely, of course. These stories describe encounters with every-day magic, where strange neighbours live in the flat next door or under the manhole cover you step on every day.
-oOo-
You can buy the Strange Neighbours Full Illustrated Collection featuring all ten stories and many drawings, or you can try out the smaller bundles:
Each of which includes 3 or 4 of the stories from the Strange Neighbours collection.
These links are all to the Amazon Kindle version of the stories. If you prefer a different format, such as .pdf or epub, have a look at my Smashwords page.
But what if you dont have an e-reader? There are a number of options.
- Download the .pdf version of my book from Smashwords.
- Download this version of my book from Amazon, and download the Kindle for PC software so you can read it on your computer.
And now I can start writing the next book. I already have several ideas.

I really enjoy the style of your drawings. There’s an organic quality to them that I just love. Your covers are gorgeous. 🙂

Thanks again! I really enjoyed designing them. Now I just have to write another book so I can make another cover for it! 🙂

Well done, Masha!!! I can’t wait to read the book and see all your exquisite drawings. Will have to purchase to add to my CT book collection…to remind me of Cape Town’s magic.

Thanks Nicola – I hope you are doing well in your new home? That is a city I’ve never lived in myself.

Good! Thanks for the nice comment. Have you read Robin McKinley’s rewritten fairy tales? Some great ones there.
