First born and other stories
Chrissy Moore-Haines
The stories told in First born and other stories deal with the experiences of childhood, youth and growing up. Sometimes these experiences are good, sometimes not so good.
From Kyle Demetrius's ill fated first born child, the stories detail many of the various, sometimes amusing, sometimes tragic aspects of growing up.

End Games short stories
Chrissy Moore-Haines.
The end of things is sometimes more interesting than the beginning. Beginnings have no history. Of course, there's the lead up, the things that have to be in place before the beginning but endings tie things up, bring things to a close.
End Games is a collection of short stories about the end of things, relationships, hopes, fears, lives and even the world as we know it.

The Flower Maiden.
Chrissy Moore-Haines
Written in 1974, The Flower Maiden is a traditional fairy story. There is a "Germanic" feel about the story and it is firmly set in a past age of innocence and belief in things magical and strange.
It tells the story of Zimmie, a bright, clever little girl growing up in a small village, who happens upon a magical place where she learns that her life is not quite as ordinary as she thought.
There are twenty four full page original colour illustrations.
