by Steve Tanham
Nine Deadly Sins with Coffee, part 50 – Snakes Down Below .Alexandra. “Scary stuff!” said John, smiling at my carefully planned opening.

The stream
by Steve Tanham
The Silent Eye While I would much rather contemplate the swirling waters of a river and watch the birds take their morning bath, there is nothing much to do in an urban traffic jam except people-watch. The stream of humanity, though, offers its own gifts. From the children making their way to school, those who walk quietly and those up to obvious mischief, to … Read More The stream
Circles beyond time
by Steve Tanham
The Silent Eye An ancient landscape, shrouded in mystery… strewn with stones and the last of the summer heather…scattered with sites of ancient sanctity. Stone circles… an enigmatic fortress rising from the bracken like a ship to carry mind and imagination back beyond the veiling mists. Time becomes fluid, marked in shadows cast by standing stones.

Ben’s Bit, part twelve – Cold Governance
by Steve Tanham
Ben’s Bit, part twelve – Cold Governance There’s something about the door that terrifies me. I suspect that it’s still unlocked. But I won’t try it to see. To try it would risk some fragile things. If it were locked and I had maintained my belief that Roger Sylvester, my new gaoler, being a good man, had left it open as a rebellious gesture against a system … Read More Ben’s Bit, part twelve – Cold Governance

Each one would doubtless be bought and, given their garage location probably as an afterthought, along with the milk and petrol, and taken home to … Read More Beheading the Rose – The Mystery of St Valentine

by Steve Tanham
