Maxine’s Story is the first in The Museum of Fractured Lives series.
The café in the Museum of Fractured Lives is a place for sharing secrets and exploring painful memories.
Several years ago, Maxine and Kaspar experienced the turbo-charged emotions of teenage romance. But the consequences of their relationship cast a long shadow into Maxine’s adulthood and now she is about to reveal something that she has never told a soul …
The Museum of Fractured Lives displays objects donated by people who have suffered a trauma in their lives. The objects are a symbol of that trauma. When accepting a donation, the museum employees try to obtain the full story behind the object. This is difficult because many of the donors are very emotional.
Each book in The Museum of Fractured Lives series tells the story of one donated object and the person who has given it.
This is a ‘flash’ novella of approximately 8,500 words and it is FREE today and tomorrow (16th and 17th July).

Thanks Sally, will take a look at those, I’m attempting….. to publish a children’s story, not a book for kindle, oh my word, don’t hold your breath, I’m looking over your previous blog posts for inspiration, and to try and understand it. Well done on the latest story.

Susan, I’m sure with your new computer qualification, you’ll soon manage to get something on Kindle. Best of luck!

Hi Sally, if you go to ‘reader’ on wordpress, there’s a tag saying re-blog next to the ‘like’ star. You press that, or Sue will need to press it.
