Theme and Variations

More about the book

Theme and Variations is a collection of sixteen flash fiction stories with music - some of it harmonious, some discordant - running through them. A participant in an internalised music scheme chooses to ignore what he assumes is just a glitch... A story vending machine provides more than just a good read for an apprehensive job applicant... When God decides that the Ten Commandments are outdated, how will Saint Peter manage the re-write...? A silent child finds his own way to communicate... A woman's music competes with her boyfriend for her affections... Although fictional, these stories also contain many elements of realism. After all, music will always be with, around or in you.
