Hello, I have been one of the Walking Dead. I had a bad allergy reaction from a medication I took for an upper respiratory infection. I am better. But enough about me-Today I want to shine the spotlight on Nick Wilford's latest endeavor!
The Loner ends the collection on a note of hope as two family members try to rebuild their lives after they are torn apart by jealousy.
Add it on Goodreads
The collection contains my first novella written two years ago, as well as stories written up to five years ago, so it's been quite a long time coming together. I'll be getting more and more nervous approaching the release date!
Nick's cover reveal! The cover was created by artist,
Rebekah Romani. This collection
puts the extremes of being human under a microscope. It includes four pieces previously published in Writer’s
Muse magazine.
Cheers, Nick! I love the look of the cover-the wonder of how does our inside world pair with our outside one.
Nick-I am anxious to read your book~
Nick is a Writer, Stay at home dad, and Freelance editor, and was a journalist. You can learn more about Nick at

A
Change of Mind and Other Stories consists
of a novella, four short stories and one flash fiction piece. This collection
puts the extremes of human behaviour under the microscope with the help of
lashings of dark humour, and includes four pieces previously published in Writer’s
Muse magazine.
In
A Change of Mind, Reuben is an office worker so meek and mild he puts up with
daily bullying from his boorish male colleagues as if it’s just a normal part
of his day. But when a stranger points him in the direction of a surgeon
offering a revolutionary new procedure, he can’t pass up the chance to turn his
life around.
But
this isn’t your average surgeon. For a start, he operates alone in a small room
above a mechanic’s. And he promises to alter his patients’ personality so they
can be anything they want to be…
In
Marissa, a man who is determined to find evidence of his girlfriend’s
infidelity ends up wondering if he should have left well alone.
The
Dog God finds a chink in the armour
of a man with a megalomaniacal desire to take over the world.
In
The Insomniac, a man who leads an obsessively regimented lifestyle on one
hour’s sleep a night finds a disruption to his routine doesn’t work for him.
Hole
In One sees a dedicated golfer
achieving a lifelong ambition.
