About the Book:
Available on Kindle UnlimitedHiding Behind The Couch is a multi-part series of stories surrounding a single group of nine friends that takes place over the course of many years.
While storylines are intermingling, the focus of the story and the point of view frequently change.
It is best thought of as a literary soap opera, with seasons and special episodes - some are 'character specials', some are 'festive specials'.
Box Set One contains:
Beginnings (Prequel #1 Novella)
Ruminations (Prequel #2 Novel)
Hiding Behind The Couch (Season One)
No Time Like The Present (Season Two)
The Harder They Fall (Season Three)
Crying in the Rain (Character Special Novel)
First Christmas (Character/Festive Special Novella)
All stories conclude, but there will be overarching plots that continue from one instalment to the next.
The inspiration for the characters, events and settings is the real world, but all characters, events and locations are entirely fictional.
The novels and novellas in this box set are also available to purchase individually.
