Read unforgettable short stories in Unspent Time Omnibus by Graham Parke, the award-winning author of ‘No Hope for Gomez!’. Unspent Time is a collection of 20 impossible tales that will keep you highly entertained. The California Chronicles calls Unspent Time, “Extremely witty and clever writing that contains keen insights into human nature.”

Between the past and the present is Unspent Time. Pockets of ‘should have been’s and ‘might have happened’s. In this realm we find the stories that could have been true.
Kiala, whose aunt and caretaker disappear one day, leave her the sole Huntress to battle the giant octopi to feed her village. There is also the revealing tale of Goki Feng Ho: the ancient Chinese art of decoding the meaning of car license plates. And the heartbreaking story of the man responsible for choosing the colors of the insides of your shoes. And let’s not forget the story behind Unspent Time itself, the metaphysical ramifications of which will leave the scientific community feeling mostly indifferent about it for decades to come…
