Published today! – “Secrets & Wisdom” by Ian Gouge

Coverstory books is delighted to announce the publication the second edition of Secrets & Wisdom by Ian Gouge.

Secrets & Wisdom was first published in 2017 prior to the launch of Coverstory books. This new edition has been reformatted to fit our house style; and although it contains a few stylistic changes and corrections, the collection remains true to the original.

The opening to the first story, Angela:


“My friends call me Angel.”

It had been her favourite line, delivered with a slight tilt of the head and a playful smile intended to lay bare the lie, to seed the notion that she was – if they played their cards right – anything but angelic. She had stood before her bathroom mirror and rehearsed, her smile fed by a panoply of memories harvested from the past rather than any anticipation of her immediate future.


Secrets & Wisdom is available on on-line platforms and on order from all good bookshops.
