Very much like an Anansi story, wealthy Mr. King, anxious for his daughter's happiness, devises a nutty plan to find the right suitor. The plan backfires and his daughter runs away from home to make her own way in the world of music. After many disappointments, she gets a lucky break, and in the end finds her true love.
This is a modern folk tale from Jamaica.that you will enjoy reading, The song lyrics are hilarious. See the reviews and add your own.

A collection of six short stories: Only $2.99 


When Times Are Strange, people do strange things. If you like short stories (varying lengths) you'll like these six stories. The characters are larger than life.They are frightened, they weep, they have to find courage to face their challenges but they also laugh. Typical Jamaican humour bubbles under the surface.

A broad canvas of life in Jamaica.

A collection of six short stories: only $2.99



Love is in the Jamaican atmosphere, and our characters have to deal with the peculiarities of relationships as they face their partners.In these six short stories, from first love between teenagers to the aftermath of lost love for the more mature, love doesn't always end in 'happily ever after' even when there's a bit of fantasy thrown in. 'Man and woman' story can be very complicated, and romance, perhaps, merely fictional.My favourite from this collection is Emancipation Park

 I dedicated these stories to Whitney Houston, taking the title from her most famous song as they were ready just about the time she died.

Cover Information

So, we all know that the cover should have the title of the book as well as the name of the author. in addition to an attractive design. Is it necessary to give any more information for ebooks which by their nature do not carry a blurb?

Is it necessary to identify a collection of short stories, for example, or say that the book is folklore. I have wondered about two of my books in particular.

Would it help to put on the cover that When Times are Strange is a collection of short stories? or that Mr. King's Daughter is a folktale?  The thing is, I presumed that the information on the amazon page would give the information a potential reader might need/want. But I am slowly coming to the conclusion that people do not automatically read this information. I notice that book covers for the more popular romance genre invariably have  (steamy) illustrations which  immediately suggest what to expect. What do you think?

 Hazel Campbell's `sort of' love stories are certainly original....

 Brilliantly written, with strong characters, and although short, well crafted. Kudos!!!!!My Darling YOU (love stories - sort of)

Geoffrey Philp
The stories in My Darling You are engaging in their deft development of character, use of dialogue, and adept handling of plot. But there's more.
