A new dance craze is sweeping 1920s London: The Jizz. Felicity Fortnum, always keen to stay abreast of the latest fashions, finds herself ostracized from the fun on account of her inability to dance. "Not so much two left feet as two huge breasts," as Felicity puts it.

Essays, observations and stories about Pattaya and Thailand - humorous, satiric, observational.

Thailand, the land of smiles and golden dreams, is languishing, and Pattaya, its biggest fun city, is succumbing to a thousand ills. Pattaya Pains is about living in Pattaya over the long term. Even though the collection of essays, stories, and observations herein would relish the golden dream of painting Pattaya as a romantic hotspot where Thais and foreigners bond, it can’t do so - not only because East is East and West is West, but also because Thais just don’t see foreigners in a good light.

Christmastide. A time of feasting and good cheer. Gifts, cards, and blazing holly logs. Snow falls while family and friends trim the tree and kiss under the mistletoe. But it isn’t always joyful. It’s the coldest time of year. The days are short, the nights long. Chilling myths lie concealed behind the raucous revelry...The ghoulish events in the frozen workhouse...The undead presence at the costumed ball...The pantomime that became a massacre...The winter goddess with the heart of ice...The thieves who woke the dark side of the festive spirit...

Christmas, the happiest time of year. Plum puddings, candy canes, carols by the fireside. But outside, the mist lies deep and still. Frost gnaws at your fingertips. Shadowy forms lurk in the evergreens. It’s the season for ghost stories.

Industrial Lancashire, 1974. The kids in the coal-mining town of Ashburn love the waning of the year. Fancy dress and scary stories for Halloween. Fireworks and treacle toffee on Guy Fawkes Night. And a month after that, snow and the approach of Christmas. But, this particular autumn will be memorable for entirely different reasons. Because, this year, someone is killing the children of Ashburn. Or should that be something?

In which the unfashionably top-heavy Miss Fortnum visits the Big Apple, dabbles in the world of contemporary art, and belatedly discovers the strange and fascinating world of manual relief. Lesley Finch's third Felicity Fortnum novella takes the titular heroine away from her comfort zone in roaring-20s London across the Atlantic, to visit her artistic friend Spurgeon "Spunky" Spunkmeyer. As ever, the redoubtable family valet Jennings is never far from his mistress's side, or, indeed, front. Posey Clifford returns to narrate this treat for lovers of breasts and silliness.

Rooted in her experiences growing up in an evangelical Christian family, Jamie Lee Finch’s You Are Your Own offers an overview of evangelicalism and the painful confusion and anxiety experienced under its demands.

In which the disproportionately and unfashionably large-bosomed Miss Fortnum takes a weekend jaunt to the country house of Dicky Dixon's lascivious uncle, a wager is proposed, and the accidental wrecking of Sir Rollo's two prize melons forces our well-endowed heroine to extreme measures at the Effcup village fete. All with the discreet assistance of Jennings, the mostly unflappable Fortnum family valet.
