When W.C. Lumin, an author of best-selling bodice-busters, historical potboilers, romantic tear-jerkers, crime thrillers and fantasy fiction summons his family, literary agent and publisher to his remote Gothic mansion, they are shocked to hear that he is suffering from a terminal wasting disease. But as they rub their hands at the prospect of inheriting his fortune, he drops a bombshell – a dramatic advance in medical science offers the hope of a cure. However, despite his failing health, he must continue to publish novels to finance the operation. And so he makes his guests an offer they cannot refuse . . . each must write a short story as the basis of a new W.C. Lumin blockbuster. If they agree, they will be rewarded with a share of his fortune. If not, he will cut them out of his will without a penny.
The Stoat Hall Legacy Book Club will publish these short stories at regular intervals as The Stoat Hall Legacy Book Club, an offbeat series of short stories perfect for morning, midday, evening or bedtime reading for those of a curious bent. So curl up on the sofa with your girl/boy/other friend and/or cat and Kindle away to your heart's content.
