A collection of eight tales of the macabre and the unexpected.
THE FLOATER and THE SMILE have a hint of the supernatural.

Something happened in Gabriella Stevens’ earlier life that caused her to distrust men – men, that is, of a certain type. At 24 she has never had a serious relationship and is still a virgin.
Office colleague Rod Nicholson personifies that type. Too handsome, too confident, he is the focus of every female in the Company. Except Gabriella.
She sees him as an amoral and unprincipled sexual predator.

People. Young, old, adults and children. Kind, cruel, loving and malevolent. All of them are recognizable in our individual worlds, and in this new collection of short stories Joy Wodhams brings them to life.
In the title story, THE GIRL AT TABLE NINE, two painfully shy people find happiness together IN LOVE AND WAR, a middle-aged wife finds a devilish way to discourage her wayward husband’s secretaries.
