Multi-talented artist Polly Hope launches her first ebook

April 6, 2011 - PRLog -- Published for the first time, 'Three True Stories' is a wondrously imaginative collection of traveller's tales which stretches the meaning of 'true' beyond its limits.  This ebook collection makes an ideal travelling companion as it can be read on any handheld device such as Kindle, Sony Reader, iPad or iPhone.

"Polly Hope never fails to surprise and delight with her work, whether it's fiction or opera, a piece of textile art or a painting," says Susan Barrett of WritersReadersDirect.  "I'm thrilled to be publishing her collection, Three True Stories, making them available for the first time.  The stories are written in true Polly style, full of energy, colour and interest.  With backdrops drawn from Translyvian, Greece and the London Underground, love and desire are entwined with ancient myth and religion, a heady mixture to while away any length journey."

I wish this site all the best, and hope that many writers and readers head on over to it and help make it into what I feel it richly deserves to become - a largish, friendly place for writers and readers of new writing to find each other."
