OVER THE GARDEN FENCE

Sue fills a room with white carnations to celebrate her twenty-first wedding anniversary. Yvonne looks forward to the garden party and gets hot and bothered by charming Dr Mathews' bedside manner. Maria dreads Valentine's day with all those red roses to remind her of past hurts.

Maddie longs to visit her brother's wonderful English garden. Dare she go? Luisha Summer was once Lucy Winterbottom, almost everything about her has changed. Does she still love flowers and remember those who aided her success? Old Myrtle promises the kids a trick along with their treats, but they're too greedy to hear the warning.

Adam has the chance to help his hero, PC Mark, and prove himself a worthy deputy if he can only discover who's responsible for stealing a prize-winning marrow and three old roller skates. Will the mystery caller persuade Beverley to make time to smell the flowers? Gran's forget-me-not brooch will lead Mazie to true love... eventually.

Gardens, plants and people all have their stories. Lean over the garden fence and I'll tell you a few.

    I really enjoy short stories and after reading two books of Patsy Collins' collections and some other samples, she is becoming a favorite author. I especially like her spooky shorts, but the stories in this book are all written well and kept my interest. Easy reading.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2015
    Stories by a multi-published writer of magazine short stories (and of three novels) – some of these stories have appeared in magazines, others were specially written for the theme of over the garden fence. Don’t expect roses-round-the-door stories though. Although the blooms may literally be there – ‘the welcoming porch was almost smothered in dusky apricot roses and creamy jasmine’ – in the first story Black and White, Benjamin is too concerned about his cousin Felicity to appreciate them. There’s some magic afoot but is it black or white? The other stories are equally unexpected in different ways. Read them and see for yourself.

    A mixture of stories, some scary, some funny, some sad from one of my favourite short story writers. One you can pick up in between watering the garden. I have the other short story books as well, and I would recommend them all.
