Author Biography - Dennis Loynes The author was born in 1949 and has spent his whole life in the rural splendour that is Worcestershire. He retired from his job as Finance Director of a small group of motor dealers in 2008. He loved his job and is enjoying his busy life of retirement even more. He achieved an honours degree in Social Science in 2013 and discovered the thrill of writing by chance when writing a Christmas story for his grandchildren. The solitary story grew and grew and became Santas Challenges and the children`s story was published in 2018. In 2013 he had short stories published in Figures in the Mist and Windmills and Paper Boats. His first novel Trials of Love was published in 2017 by Silverwood Books. Since then, one thought kept flicking through his mind – what happened to the main characters in that book? Did things work out well for Paula and Beverley in particular? Did they find love? There was only one way to find out, and that`s how the sequel, Pathway to Love was born. He has recently self-published Short Affairs of the Heart which is a collection of lighthearted, humorous short stories many of which were written for the Worcester Writers Circle of which he is a member. When not writing Dennis loves tennis, badminton, jogging, Manchester United and duplicate bridge.

Santa is feeling old and tired and sends a resignation letter to the Almighty One. His resignation is denied, instead, the Almighty sends him Suranta Chores. She brings him happiness, helps him deliver presents and makes him feel young again. The story follows Santa and Suranta in different situations. Santa Resigns, Santa on Vacation, Santa plays Football, Burglary at the Grotto, Santa has a Refit, Santa catches Cold, and Santa goes Carol Singing. Finally, the Santa Party. An underlying concern featured throughout the different challenges is that his true identity must not be revealed. This forms part of his Contract of Employment with the Almighty One, and could lead to his banishment if it becomes known.

Short Stories
I never used to read short stories, but after joining a number of local writing groups, and listening to many superb stories, I felt I should join in.
Short Affairs of the heart is a result of this.
Hope you like it.
