More About This Title Lies I Never Told-A Collection of Short Stories

English

"It's what we do. We make our own beds. We become thirty and then forty and we
divorce and re-marry and visit our children on weekends, and work at jobs we
never dreamed of doing, and have too many relationships with people we don't
like, and on the outside we look like any other forty-year-old hero. We're not
though, because it never goes away. No matter how hard we try to hide it, inside
we're still seventeen, sitting at the river, looking for the girl with the brown
eyes."
In this collection of short stories, Martin Crosbie, bestselling author of "My Temporary Life", presents us with a glimpse into the rear-view mirror of life. Crosbie's writing is quiet, so quiet that when the crash comes you suddenly realize you've been gripping onto the edge of your chair, living the story right along with the main character. In this intensely personal collection, he writes about relationships, sex, children, infidelities, guilt, and sometimes, the absence of guilt.
Lies I Never Told includes four new, original stories, one previously published short story, and the first chapters of his Amazon bestselling novel "My Temporary Life" and the follow-up "My Name Is Hardly".

In a press release, Amazon called Martin Crosbie one of their success stories of 2012. His self-publishing journey has been chronicled in Publisher's Weekly, Forbes Online, and Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper. Martin's debut novel, MY TEMPORARY LIFE, has been downloaded over one hundred and fifty thousand times and became an Amazon top ten overall bestseller.
MY NAME IS HARDLY, his second book, was written following reader requests to hear more about Hardly, the beloved character from MY TEMPORARY LIFE.
Martin was born in the Highlands of Scotland and currently makes his home in Vancouver, on the west coast of Canada.

"Where Martin Crosbie found his voice is a mystery. His ability to create stories (here very brief ones) that explore the psyche of his chosen stand-in trope in such a way that within a few sentences you are so aware of the character's life and feelings that he seems to be sitting beside you, in conversation with only you."
Grady Harp, Amazon Top Reviewer.
Mr. Crosbie has a way of writing that makes you feel like he is just having a conversation with his readers, very personal. I look forward to reading everything that he writes.
