Hi folks,

I have three collections, two of which are available in paperback and as kindle editions:



Peace and Disquiet

A collection of twelve slightly disturbing tales which encompass mortality, mentality, brutality…and reality.
Sleep tight…




Light Bites

Take a pinch of humour, a touch of light-heartedness and a drop of whimsy and you have the perfect recipe to be savoured any time, anywhere.

Light Bites - a collection of satisfying and uplifting tales.


Minor Discord


Dare to visit the dark places at the edges of the map, places where you will feel unsettled and from where characters will follow you, whether you want them to, or not. This collection of stories and flash fiction will take you into the shadows. Don’t get left behind...

Hope you enjoy them!

5*
`The author writes so well, in such a 'real' way that I found myself immersed in each tale.'

`Her characters are easy to relate to and there is lots of humour that keeps you entertained.'

`I thoroughly enjoyed every story and would definitely recommend it.'

`There is certainly something for everyone here.'

`A very good read.'

Utterly delicious

'Dahl-esque delight - ridiculously funny, yet intelligent. Weird and wonderful characters - a chocolate box of surprises'

is a brand new collection of some forty short stories and flash fiction, many of which have been placed in writing competitions.

As the blurb says, the stories lean towards the darker side. However, there is also a good dose of black humour.

This is my most recent collection and has met with happy (if slightly traumatised!) readers:

'​...delighted to have purchased this collection of short stories and flash fiction.'​

'​...a gamut of emotion...'​

'The characters and scenery are well presented...allowing the characters to take you on their amazing journey...'​

'​...wonderful twists and turns as in Expectations and Cold Comfort. And then the darker tales, The Last Place and Two's Company, just the thought of that doll, ugh :( and then the brilliant tale, loved this, Taking Flight. These are a few that stuck in my mind.'​

'This book was a page turner for me, and kept me reading for longer than intended into the dark hours'​

'​... quirky, eerie tales that collude with the darker side of story telling.'​

'I have purposefully declined from using the word...twisted, though on the, QT, I think it should be in there somewhere.'​
'This didn't disappoint!'​

'Birds...death as a stalker in his personalised black car, really good story.
Cold Comfort...A spooky love story, enjoyed this & could have read a full book about this.
Soul Control...Lucifer & Gabriel, straight away this was a story for me, it was funny & bizarre right up my street, again, BOOK!
A Stitch in Time...an unfinished sampler causes a couple of problems, intriguing story.
Drop Dead Gorgeous...A really creepy story, skin crawling & freaky!'​

'​...all well written & so easy to get into.'​

'​...reading the many stories that make up Minor Discord was a challenge, and it is one that I have enjoyed.'​

'Helen Laycock's creative talent shines through...; her skills and creativity are to be admired.'​

'​...there were times when... I had to pause and re-read simply for the enjoyment of the imagery they conjured (e.g. White Light).'​

'I cannot say which was my favourite - there were too many!'

I was recently a short story Featured Author on Goodreads, and last week did a reading to a very appreciative audience.

My three short story collections are available as kindle, or as paperback versions:

Each short story takes around 10 mins reading time.
