Thank you, Tim.

My thanks to my publisher, Tim Runk of CSS Publications, (who also produces and manages my website) for the publication of Volume Two of Children's Stories From The Village Shepherd. I hope you will be as impressed as I am by the cover picture, which clearly links to Volume One but is easily differentiated.

You can read the first few stories online by clicking here and following the links in the left hand column.

As in Volume One, each story is based on a particular gospel reading but is set in modern life or in the fantasy world of talking animals, fairies and pixies.

Originally written with All-Age Worship and Family Services in mind, the stories can be enjoyed by adults as well as children. This volume relates to year C - Luke's gospel - of the Revised Common Lectionary used by mainstream churches.

I do hope you enjoy the stories as much as I enjoyed writing them - and do keep looking out for Volume Three (year A, Matthew's gospel) - to be published in due course.
