Reseña del editor:

These seven short stories were written randomly over a long period of time, and were all responses to seemingly insignificant incidents in life. If there is an underlying theme to the tales, it is that life is both strange and varied, and yet forms a cohesive whole. The stories range from the whimsical, to the poignant, to the mildly philosophical. As humans, most of us derive comfort from predictability and conformity, but as Hamlet says: "And therefore as a stranger give it [strangeness] welcome. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio than are dreamt of in your philosophy." (Hamlet Act 1, scene5, 159-167)

Biografía del autor:

Megan Hamilton was born in England and immigrated with her family to Canada as a child. She now lives in Ottawa, Ontario. After graduating from university with a degree in English and linguistics she worked as a writer (presumably non-fiction) and editor for the Canadian Federal Government. During this period she wrote several stories, and hid them away due to a combination of shyness and inertia. 'Millstones' her first full-length novel was actually written in the early nineties. However, a certain strong-willed friend decided that if you’ve written it, you should ‘put it out there’. Thus Millstones is now available through Smashwords and Amazon because the certain strong-willed friend made it happen. Megan's second work, 'The Glass', a post-apocalyptic novella, was also recently revived and developed, and is now widely available in e-book form and in paperback. The short story collection, 'Humans and Other Creatures' is her most recent publication. These stories range from the poignant, to the whimsical, to the slightly philosophical. All of them give one food for thought.
