    About this ebook

    ‘Numbers’ is the third book of short stories and poems written by Ruth Partis. She is very grateful to the Sheppey Writers Group for their encouragement and continual nagging without which this book would never have been completed. (And probably not even started.)
    Ruth is also grateful to TAUP UK Publishing who have turned her work into what she hopes is a presentable volume.
    Most of the contents are published for the first time, but there a few favourites deemed worthy of another view.
    Ruth’s stories tend to be very short enabling the reader to re-read them easily or indeed read them aloud to someone else.
    Ruth’s two previous publications ‘The Incomplete Works of Ruth Partis’ and ‘My sister’s Shoes’ were very well received and are still available (as of 2015).

    Ruth Partis

    Ruth Partis has been writing stories and poems most of her life, but her work was only suitable for publication with the invention of the word processor and the spell check. Now retired from her work in education and journalism she is discovering the joys of being a grandmother. Ruth has a very supportive husband and three grown-up children of whom she is justifiably proud. She has lived on the Isle of Sheppey for more than forty years, but can still get lost due to her appalling sense of direction.
