About this ebook
My Gawd! and Other Stories by Fairbanksjust the one word, like Moses, like Prince.
My Gawd! Is that allowed? Can you write that? If it was a film, it would be rated R: adults only. But not rated X by any means; this is not erotica. Thats the fun of the clever writing. Its fiction! It sometimes gets very close to the line, but then it backs off. There are only a couple of jolts in retrospect. Some stories have no sex at all. (Does sex between insects count?)
This is a collection of thirteen short stories set out as one per month plus New Years. It is fun to take up the authors suggestion and read the last story first (and then again at the end). This tantalizing New Years story is written as a play, and the other one is a humorous narrative poem. The stories are full of interesting and varied charactersyoung, old, male, female, ordinary, eccentric, naughty, and nice. Settings include the authors backyard, Central Australia, other rural backgrounds, and Canberra.
Each short story is different, holding the readers interest and moving along without dragging. There are no boring bits at all. There is poetry in the prose, touching descriptions of setting and character. Two of the stories are longer, giving the reader the chance to follow an interesting plot and the characters more fully. Watch out for the famous Fairbanks twist!
Lots of marketing potential with this one! Put it on your bedside table and read one story a night for fun and for titillation. The next Fifty Shades? The naughty outback Aussies version.

Author
Fairbanks
Fairbanks He lived for a spell near Melbourne town, till a Saturday bushfire burned his home down; then what had been an itinerant centre stay became a permanent home for wandering, work, rest, and play. And now this ex-chalkie, he camps and he writes and he talks in cafes and markets and street corner walks, of life in the bush and life behind doors to help us see truth, our land, and ourselves.
