    Ros Nazilli

    Because I am a Virgo I do tend to be a bit of a flighty character and change my mind about people and things a lot. I have published this collection of Flash Fiction THE WAY OF LIFE, with another to come very soon. My Erotic ramblings will be published in the near furure AND I have just started writing a Mystery novel SECRETS OF SILENCE which will hopefully hit the streets at the end of the year. I have a husband whose hair is longer than mine and two dogs who share the chaos that is my life. My dream is to travel the world in a camper van but I can't afford to take the dogs and I go nowhere without them so I guess I will be sticking closer to home.

      ''I don't think I can do this Leyla. I really, really don't.'' Marcus Delaney whispers. His eyes are full of tears.

      She stirs, wrapped in an old blanket she stares out at the lake and the mist
