Grandma’s Petticoat is a story that began eighty years ago, and yet it may well be a story of tomorrow. It is about change, and yet we see that sadly many things stay the same.

Something in Common is a story with many levels. An old lady and a young girl meet one morning, and while they share a common bond, they find they also have shared needs.
The location, the walk along the Brisbane River, through the Queen Street Mall, and onto the beautiful SouthBank is real. So is the exquisite Nepalese Pagoda which forms as a central meeting place.
And in this highly technical world, the basis for this story is becoming more common. Intrigued? All explained in our new story, Something in Common.

Wannarbee Bond uses her P.E. sign to best effect by being a Private Eye/Pest Exterminator. But sadly she doesn’t often achieve[wpforms id=”58″] the intended outcome in either area. In fact, she rarely gets the bad guy, but happily, nearly always gets the girl.
We would love to hear if you liked this “Something Different” story, and there are many Wannarbee adventures ready to come your way. Too Many Crooks Spoil the Plot … A Tyme to Die … Death by Fermentation, just to name a few. They were originally released in Bullet Rock N’Roll Noir magazine, which is sadly, now, long forgotten. But if you would like a print copy, please write to fastfictionpodcasts@gmail.com, and we will be happy to send a copy.
Wannarbee stories follow the Mickey Spillane style of Pulp Fiction, which we acknowledge is not politically correct anymore. But as Mickey Spillane used to say, “there are more people buy peanuts than caviare.” So, grab your peanuts and sit back and enjoy a little old fashioned fun.

Having started with so much, and finishing with so little, we now gain a glimpse of the motivating forces that pushed this story to its conclusion. Perhaps we can use it as a cautionary tale. But it’s up to you, the listener, to delve its meaning.

The Golden Girl Part 1 is almost two parts in itself. It begins with a friendship that almost comes to an end on the most crucial of days. But survives, only to falter again, at the worst possible time.
Ten Pound Poms was colloquial for a bi-government initiative between England and Australia – in an attempt to help populate the country. The fares would be paid from the UK to Australia, with a two-year compulsory stay. Otherwise, the fare had to be repaid.
