Book of short stories with a twist raises cash for Ukraine children

All proceeds from the book, "Uncle Chris's Second Collection of Crafty Short Stories" by Pete Frost, go to the charity World Vision in their support of Ukraine children.

Pete said: "Thanks to all for your support in helping me reach the target of £1000 for World Vision.

"All the money due to the author from each book goes to World Vision. I have now increased the target to £3000, and the target will be even more, if book sales do well. So if you haven’t bought the second book yet then please do and by doing that you will contribute to helping Ukraine."

He added: "Both ‘Uncle Chris’ books are a collection of 10-minute-read mystery short stories, each with a twist. None of us have time to read a complete book in one sitting, so a short story with a twisty ending is perfect for an evening read or a commute.

"For each story, can you get the twist before the twist gets you? Both books can be bought online from Waterstones or Amazon as paperback or eBook."

People have commented on the clever twists for these 10-minute read stories, leading to 5* Amazon reviews, and both books have caught the attention of Hampshire’s Fiesta FM radio, who have helped spread the message, with the author being interviewed on air in March.

Said Pete: "World Vision have given us all a big thank you for the £1000 so I in turn thank you for your help.

"World Vision are a global charity who help children in need of aid across the world. I have been a sponsor for them for the last 30 years, so it is great to help them by writing a fun book."
