"Some Shorter Than Others"

INTERVIEW WITH NEVILLE HIATT

What do you plan to do with the funds you raise?
The funds raised will go to recording, editing and producing the stories to a commercial level thus enabling those that choose to or need to utilise audio books to enjoy these heart warming stories.

Why did you write the book?
This book has been a labour of love and thankfully based on an early review this has shown through in the stories. I wanted to write stories that would aid adults in momentarily forgetting about their daily struggles and that kids could also enjoy.

What was your inspiration for the book?
What inspired me to write this book was my need to stay connected with the outside world. Left medically retired at an age when I should be to busy to be laying in bed at 10am on a weekday answering questions, projects like this one are what has kept me going these last few years. I miss being able to see my extended family as much as I would like to be able to and writing these stories has been one way I can stay connected to them.

So whats in it for you?
How about an added incentive of 10 entries into a random draw to win one of only 10 collectors edition copies of the book? http://www.rafflecopter.com/rafl/display/b981a81/


REVIEWS:

It is good to read material which so obviously comes from the heart. The writing ranges from cute stories for children such as "Sammy", and "Teddy's First Christmas" to the intriguing World War 1 love story"The Blue Dolphin". 
Sylvia's beautiful illustrations add to the reader's enjoyment and appreciation of the prose. 
Frank - Australia

I have just finished reading all your lovely short stories. I wished there were more! They were very delightful, but I could also sense the heart that went into them. They really mean a lot to you. It's hard to pick a favorite, I think it would have to be Jessica with The Blue Dolphin coming in as a close second. 
Sam - Australia

"I wanted to say how much I'm enjoying your "Some Shorter than Others". The writing is simple and engaging and I'm so looking forward to sharing these stories with my grandchildren as well as enjoying them myself. The drawings are just gorgeous."
Helen - Australia.

"I am very privileged to read the Beta copy of this book. The stories are so lovely. Simply written yet with so much to say. Each story has touched my heart, and are beautiful in their childlike, but never childish, viewpoint."
Dawn - USA rated it 5 of 5 stars 

I like how light and child-like it comes across it allows me to think in an uncomplicated way.
Viktor - Germany

"Two Peas in a Pod is beautiful"
