About this eBook

Everybody has a wish. Everybody has a dream. Sometimes those dreams and wishes can come true, but there is always a price to pay. The stories of people who have paid this price are recorded in The Book of Reasons.

This new collection from the author of the Missing Beat trilogy contains some of those stories. Read about an author’s toxic relationship with his own creation, a gardener who wages war on snails, a policeman who is haunted by his last case, what happens when pupils begin to disappear from a school photograph, and, in the title story, you will learn the identity of The Custodian of Stories and what his job entails.

These are stories of the bizarre and of the macabre, but all must be read with the lights on.

About the author

Liverpool born Bob Stone is an author and bookshop owner. He has been writing for as long as he could hold a pen and some would say his handwriting has never improved. He is the author of two self-published children’s books, A Bushy Tale and A Bushy Tale: The Brush Off. Missing Beat, the first in a trilogy for Young Adults, was his first full-length novel and was followed by Beat Surrender and Perfect Beat, completing the trilogy. A complementary novella Out of Season was first published in the Beaten Track anthology Seasons of Love and then as a paperback in its own right. Since then he has had a children’s picture book, Faith’s Fairy House, published by Beaten Track and self-published his first adult novel Letting the Stars Go.

Bob still lives in Liverpool with his wife and cat and sees no reason to change any of that.
