Richard - The Lyin' Art

Richard Randall is unable to stop himself. He is a compulsive liar. When Wes Higginbottom encounters him and hears some of his lies, he takes an instant dislike to him. After all, why waste time waiting until you get to know someone better, when you can go for a full blown hatred immediately. However, Wes' judgement is soon fully justified as his annoying nemesis causes one upset after another. They both belong to a social group which organises regular events enabling members to meet up. These members are mostly divorced or widowed and seek group friendship rather than any romantic liaisons. That doesn't stop Wes from forming attachments to some of the female members but so does Randall and there is inevitable conflict.

The problem with continuously telling lies is, at some point, you might need someone to believe you - and they won't!

Also included in this book are four other short stories from the pen of Will Stebbings.
