Concise in expression, the short stories in this book cover a wide range of subjects. As an experienced journalist, Verity Donovan has mastered the art of clear, succinct writing and captures the reader's interest from the very first line. Three of the stories in this collection, aptly entitled Briefly Shorts, are set in the author's beloved Yorkshire during the thirties and the Second World War. Dementia, old age and homosexuality all get an airing, interspersed with a light-hearted look at personalities as a whole. Three of the stories have been read out on the BBC.
Born in Yorkshire, Verity Donovan was the first woman reporter to work on the Brighouse Echo, a weekly paper in her home town, during the fifties. She again broke the male-dominated mould in provincial journalism when she became the first woman reporter on the bi-weekly Western Gazette, in Yeovil, Somerset, after moving to the Westcountry at the age of twenty-two. On her marriage, she moved to Devon and for several years was woman's page editor, and later general reporter and trainee subeditor on Exeter's daily newspaper, the Express and Echo. She married for the second time in l974, to a well-known Westcountry businessman, John Hill, and after his death in 1996 she took over as managing director of his lighting business, a position which she held until the showrooms closed in 2O13. She still lives in Devon, close to her three children and three grandchildren.
