I wrote these two-dozen Abergele in Shorts stories back in 1996, while I was living in the Republic of Ireland.

In a week’s time, I’m publishing the first of another ten or so brand new Abergele in Shorts on this website, every week or so leading up until the end of 2011.

Please bookmark this site, feel free to share the news on Facebook or Twitter and come back here at 2pm on Friday 7 October.

I’ve also just set up a brand new free weekly email newsletter which you can sign up for to get these new stories in your inbox every week (usually Monday). You can sign up by typing your email address in the form at the top right of this page, just under the search box.

I’m really excited about the new series of Abergele in Shorts and I hope you enjoy reading them.
