A Pocketful of Surprises (Wombat in my Pocket Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Michael Wombat (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
3.8 out of 5 stars 11 ratings
“What do you fancy?” said Satan. “How about a nice cake?”
“You said I could have anything I wanted – why would I ask for cake?”
“Who doesn’t like cake?” he smiled. I simply stared into his curiously striking eyes. “Ah well, it was worth a try,” he said. “Go on then, what do you want?”
“I ... I don’t know. What’s the catch? Will I have to go to Hell when I die?”
“Only if you want to. It’s quite a nice place, actually.”
“Hell is ‘quite nice’?”
“Oh yes, though all the books are missing the last chapter. Otherwise it’s not unlike one of those woodland holiday villages.”
“Is there wifi?”
“No, Hell has no wifi.”
“I suppose that was a silly q—”
“Look at your face! Of course there’s wifi. Who doesn’t have wifi? That would be ridiculous.”

Eight short tales of surprise and delight that you can slip in your pocket.

A Yorkshireman living in the rural green hills of Lancashire, Michael Wombat is a man of huge beard. He has a penchant for good single-malts, inept football teams, big daft dogs and the diary of Mr. Samuel Pepys. Abducted by pirates at the age of twelve he quickly rose to captain the feared privateer ‘The Mrs. Nesbitt’ and terrorised the Skull Coast throughout his early twenties. Narrowly escaping the Revenue men by dressing as a burlesque dancer, he went on to work successively and successfully as a burlesque dancer, a forester, a busker, and a magic carpet salesman. The fact that he was once one of that forgotten company, the bus conductors, will immediately tell you that he is as old as the hills in which he lives. Nowadays he spends his time writing, telling tall tales in his bio, and pretending to take good photographs. You can have a good laugh at his blog or his photographs, but most of all please go and mock him mercilessly on Twitter or Facebook. Michael Wombat has published over one book. Other authors are available.

“Michael Wombat brought us to near tears by his short stories. He is a natural story teller.” – Diana Jackson, author of The Riduna Series.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Juicy Morsels

    I'm an unabashed lover of Michael Wombat's scribblings. These tiny tales provide juicy morsels to chew on. Some satisfy, some leave you wanting more, but all of them delight keen to read the next.

    Wombie at his best. He had me at Satan and cakes. Wonderfully witty and endearing.
