Grandma Stannard (and why you shouldn't annoy the neighbours)

By Tracey Meredith

“Trick or Treat?” said the boy, in an annoyingly sing-song voice.
“It's April,” said Grandma coldly.
“And?” offered the boy.
And so begins the worst afternoon Grandma Stannard has endured for a long time. People just won't stop knocking on her door, trying to sell her everything, from double-glazing to Jesus. And we won't even go into her sudden vermin problem or the mysterious man in black and white. What in the world is going on?
A short story based (very loosely) on an old fairy tale.

Tracey Meredith

Tracey lives in the west of England and has done so for the last 30 years or so. She started writing to encourage her son to read something other than train magazines- the idea being that he would tell her what would happen next and then she would write it for him, ready to read at bed time. Yes, you're quite right- it never happened.. The unfinished manuscripts were found during a decorating session and determinedly finished over a four year period- four in all. Growned was the first one finished and edited. Others now published are The Angel in Towerhouse Wood and (as Beryl C Jones) a token Romantic adventure called A Foreign Land, which seems to have gone down quite well. Finding Richard was the last of the four to be published.New stuff is on the way, and this time she is determined to finish it in less than 8 years. She has done the final edits to Barry & the Dinosaur King, which is released 6th April 2017. There are, as you will see, also a couple of free short stories on her Smashwords page. You can also read the first part of Barry at http://traceygb1.blogspot.co.uk/p/blog-page_8.html .
