A collection of eight short stories by historical novelist, Jill Rutherford. Serious, funny, a little off centre, they give you a glimpse into people's lives - the day after someone won the lottery, a country mansion that talks, a tale of two cities - London and Tokyo, a dog's tale of resilience, a woman who cannot live without the colour red in her life, the mystery of two ladies in kimono, a faggots and peas café, a woman who is caught up in the Japanese tsunami. There are also two excerpts from the author's other books.

I laid down on the theatre bed ready for the examination of my vaginal entrance when the Consultant told me she wanted to examine me without anaesthetic. I told her that wasn't what was agreed and it would hurt me. It was pointless arguing. She proceeded to stick the speculum in. I screamed. She came up beside me and her closing words cut even deeper. " I think all your pain is psychological".\nI walked out of that hospital defiant that I would teach the medical professionals about Pudendal Neuralgia and how it affects us sufferers. This condition needs to be taught in medical college and also more research is needed.\nThe book is full of stories from a Facebook group.

Final Fantasy is one of the most iconic and beloved videogame series in the world. Since its inception, its titles have adopted names, themes and stories from across global mythology, including the beliefs of the Vikings. This book embarks on a detailed exploration of how Norse lore in particular influenced the writing and design of Final Fantasy VII – arguably the most critically acclaimed of the franchise – and its wider compilation. Why is Midgar the political centre of the Planet, and Nibelheim the home of Cloud Strife? How are the Odin Materia, the Rune Blade, and Vincent Valentine connected? What are the parallels between Ragnarök and the fall of the Shinra Corporation?These questions and many more will be examined and answered by award-winning community author M. J. Gallagher. Suitable for newcomers and enthusiasts alike.\nThis work is presented as a tribute to the metaseries Compilation of Final Fantasy® VII. The author proposes that the speculative comparisons between Norse mythology and the Compilation of Final Fantasy® VII are unique, and use original thinking and analysis to interpret the inspirations, context, and content of the metaseries. The book has not been approved, licensed, or sponsored by any entity or person involved in creating or producing Final Fantasy®, the videogames, films, or publications.
