Agnes Owens is known for her novels and short stories including Gentlemen of the West, A Working Mother, People Like That, Lean Tales, and Bad Attitudes. Her new book, Don’t Call Me, is her complete life work in short stories, bringing together her published work with 14 brand new unpublished stories. Witty and dark, Owens’ spare prose shocks and delights. Laura Hird’s short stories, the latest published as Hope and Other Urban Tales, are set in the low-rent area of Edinburgh. Urban stories, sometimes of despair and dysfunction, yet offering humour and hope.
