This is the second collection in a series of mixed genre short stories. They are all of between 600 and 1200 words. The trend leans towards speculative fiction but the stories are intentionally diverse. The expectation and hope is that readers will enjoy reading in some less familiar subject areas, while accepting that not all the stories will be any readers cup of tea. None of the stories have anything remotely to do with boiling eggs, or any other kitchen arts. Rather, it is the egg timer itself that is significant. All the stories are easily readable in the time the sand takes to drop, which is usually close to two and a half minutes. Yes, I know that many of you read much faster. This is a book for brief moments, short escapes, from the tasks of the day. Sometimes there just isn't time to get back to that great novel, waiting on the arm of your favourite chair.
