Overview

Hold on. Not so fast. Just when you think it's just another day....

About the Author

Steve Morris is a teacher and examiner of mathematics and science. He travels around his region of England teaching students who are too ill to get to school. Steve graduated in mathematics from Manchester Metropolitan University in 1993. Despite a background surrounded by figures, one of Steve’s passions has been his love for English literature and collecting antiquarian books.
In his own schooldays he enjoyed putting his vivid imagination to good use. With a growing supply of bizarre short stories, he found early success in magazines and anthologies in the UK and overseas.
2009 saw Steve realise a lifelong ambition with the release of his debut book In All Probability: A Collection of Short Stories, which with a nod of approval from the press developed a modest following. This was followed in 2010 with a second collection Jumble Tales. His first full novel ‘Playing Havoc’ is out in July 2012.

Editorial Reviews

"An interestingly diverse collection of short stories...
A succinct, precise style allows for no less than 30 short stories to be cloistered within the 137 pages that constitutes In all Probability. Unlike most anthologies, there is no decisive theme; or, perhaps if it does, it is dissolution: a dream, a desire, a problem, a success, or a belief – all coming to an end – one way or another."

The Truth About Books - The Truth About Books -

"Throughout the stories we meet with spirits, ghosts, workaholics, loners, dreams, conspiracy theories, climate change, OCD, the marketing of cigarettes, supernatural events and futuristic environments. I must say the futuristic stories are a little scary – because they could end up being real. They certainly have a real feeling about them."

Mandythebookworm's Blog - Mandy -

"Overall there are lots of great stories in the book, only being a couple which I didn't like. I loved the front cover and the Biographical notes, as I am always intruged about what the authors are like when they write a certain genre. 7/10"
